Kick Ass

• one thing in a commit...
• the method name describes what the method does...
• write unit tests (tdd?)...
• use your brain (learn how to think/debug)...
• never trust the test you did not see fail...
• code, refactor, rinse, repeat...
• make sure you can debug on your machine...
• make sure the code actually works...
• take a look at the code you are about to commit...
• when reporting a problem or asking a question, read it and make sure that people not able to read your mind could understand what the problem is...
• run unit tests before you commit...
• fix unit tests if you break them...
• have fun while you test (if testing is boring, you are doing it wrong)...
• do not commit commented code (I do not mean code comments, use version control to keep track of deleted code that could be useful one day)...
• report bugs so they could be reproduced easily...
• write commit message when editing wiki pages...
• do not commit IDE files...

#... or I will kick your ass! :)
