This wikipedia entry is a decent introduction, discussing pros and cons of repetition-reducing abstractions (DRY) in a language-independent way.

your link doesn't work. Try this one instead. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_repeat_yourself I was not aware there was a term for this. Also called DIE (Duplication is Evil).

Thanks for the updated link. Mine was a cut/paste from the Chrome address bar. A bug maybe.
