Pedantically: Both DRY and Don't Copy and Paste when applied to code are techniques for a larger strategy: To produce high quality systems. In some cases copy and paste (aka repeating yourself) is the best path to producing a high quality system.

Consider also the advice to not prematurely optimize: DRY is an automation optimization that can be applied prematurely. Copying and Pasting code can be useful to educate the developers on what abstractions
are appropriate to apply.
