List of all the programming rules

1. If it works, Don't touch it.
2. Never code at daytime, Always code at night
3. Don't fight over an IDE, Just use notepad++
4. Stick to maximum 3 programming languages
5. Don't minify or obfuscate your code, It absolutely sucks
6. Use a beautifier or a code prettier, To make it look better
7. Always write documentation
8. Write summary comments, Or just normal comments to make everyone's life easier
9. It is recommended to license your code if you don't want others to modify it without your permission
10. Always and always use source control. My personal favorite is GitHub
11. Organize your program's features using a todo list, Or a project board

This list is in progress and gets updated over time.
