7 Golden Rules That Make You a Better Programmer

Steven Feuerstein published a new presentation titled: Golden Rules for Developers [PDF].

Here is a summary of his seven “golden rules” that will help you write better code:

1. Don’t repeat anything.
2. Hide everything.
3. Don’t take shortcuts.
4. Embrace standards.
5. Build on a foundation.
6. Never lose information.
7. Don’t write code alone.

Agreed with all. I would also add an eighth one: Understand your data.

What would you add?
