Metastasis of Mechanism: Not noticing a common piece of functionality that recurs with only trivial variations across a system, solving the problem in an entirely different way in each location at which it appears, and then building an entire, half-baked, perpetually work in progress, idiot framework around a non-trivial fraction of each of these perversions.
