Best Practices & Rules of thumb

• Spend time to make improvements everywhere you go
• Keep code DRY
• Leave TODOs on hacks and unfinished bits
• Name and rename methods accurately
• When naming files, if you find you have a common prefix, that means its time to split in to a subdirectory.
• OMIT NEEDLESS WORDS.

Rules of the Console

• MODEL.record_timestamps = false will keep posts from jumping to the top of the list
• We really should have better destroy()-fitering.
