Don't don't do what I would do. The mistake is forgetting first principles. You don't do something good by focusing on what not to do (like don't be evil). Focus on what to do: KISS, YAGNI, etc.. even DRY is a far lower priority. Software, especially frontend and web are rampant with problems from operating as an echo chamber. Just consider what Ryan did with Deno and had to say criticizing his first project. Yet folks are still wildly supportive of the older technical decisions and go to great lengths to preserve those same mistakes.
