DRY (don't repeat yourself) - this mostly because it's so easy to detect duplicates even for beginners. it leads to terribly misguided advice and creating stupid abstractions that complicate the code.

Agree with this! I like WET and DRY "Write Everything Twice" then when you know what you're doing, or understand the problem space (selectively), dry it out.

A lot of DRY is Same By Coincidence Replace with “does this abstraction make the code simpler”
