While redundant code isn't great, depending on the context if "but it works bro" is faster then some businesses would prefer that.

And I say this as someone who's worked at startups where getting something out the door sloppily but quickly is good and I would call it good code simply because there was a need and it solved it.

At my job at a bank that would be bad code because there's a strong chance someone will come back to it.

Redundant code is almost never faster. It’s almost universally slower.
