- QUOTE: ... as developers we have a responsibility to go beyond implementing functional requirements and write code that’s easy to read, understand and maintain.
- Good Structure — classes with a single responsibility, functions that do one thing.
- Descriptive Naming — classes, functions, and variables should have clear, descriptive names.
- Unit Test Coverage — unit tests describe how a component should behave. As well as testing expected behavior they act as a form of component specification.
- Comments — comments provide important information that can’t easily be expressed by the code. ... write your comments with less experienced developers in mind.

- QUOTE: ... Best practices are a set of empirically proven approaches to software development. When used in combination they strike at the root causes of software development problems. They are called "best practices" not because we can precisely quantify their value but rather they are observed to be commonly used in industry by successful organizations.
