---The 11 commandments of coding---
1. Name your variables and functions sensibly
2. Four levels of indentation is more than enough
3. Don't wrap an entire function in an if - negate the if and return from it at the beginning instead
4. Constants on the left (Yoda conditions)
5. Use your space bar - cond with no spaces are hard to read.
6. Teach before you expect anyone to know. (Define your functions before you call them.)
code should read like a book, establishing characters before you're expected to know them, read from top to bottom in one go and for maximum understanding afterwards.
7. Function often, if it happens more than twice make it a function.
8. When a function changes, its name should change also.
9. Thou shalt avoid comparison when possible. (boolean zen)
10.
11. All of us working together can make everyone's code better - chastise your fellow programmers that don't follow the commandments.
