Subject: Re: Would you merge repeating code even when it's get more complex?

Uncle Bob commands: extract methods till you drop. Extract your repeated code until there isn't any. 

Now, I try not to be religious about this, but I can't think of any examples where having repeated code has been anything other than a maintenance problem. If this is personal code, do whatever. If it's for a company , Bob Martin's advice is well worth considering.
