Programming best practices everyone should know (entrepreneurs too). What else should I add to the list?

There's no need be a programmer to comprehend what these are about. When outsourcing software development, make sure your team uses these practices in their work, it will lift much troubles in the future.

Tests

What is? Anticipating the behavior of business logic and getting some proof of this prediction. E.g, you can test whether a message submitted via a contact form is reaching the target email.

When needed? Always a must to protect your product from unexpected behavior.

Refactoring

What is? Rewriting the existing, perhaps old code to make it more efficient.

When needed? If there are major inconsistencies in the code and different parts of business logic are not in line with each other.

Avoiding repetitions

What is? Making sure similar parts of code obey common logic and don’t need to be modified one by one when changes have to be made.

When needed? When the same functionality is used in different places in the code, e.g. contact forms on different website pages.

Want to know if your existing software was built following these principles? Request a code audit service from experts.
