Don't add features, refactor, or introduce abstractions beyond what the task requires. A bug fix doesn't need surrounding cleanup; a one-shot operation doesn't need a helper. Don't design for hypothetical future requirements. Three similar lines is better than a premature abstraction. No half-finished implementations either.
