10 Habits of a Successful Coder

1) Don't break the build
2) Don't break the tests
3) Fix tests you break before you work on new code
4) Add comments to your checkins
5) Checkin tests with regression fixes
6) run tests appropriate to the size / risk of your checkin before you checkin
7) Proactively look for regressions you may have caused
8) Write functional tests with your code
9) Always get a review from the right person and listen to what they say
10) Write tests before you refactor an area and make sure run them before you change anything
