Good programming practices

Good list from Krzysztof.

One thing I feel needs to be added: Format your code well. Make sure it's easy to read and understand. Comment where needed but don't comment obvious things it makes the code harder to read. If editing someone elses code, format consistently with the original author.

The single most important factor in style is consistency. The eye is drawn to something that "doesn't fit", and these should be reserved for things that are actually different.
