What is the golden rule of coding?

Always copy code.

If you write code always copy names you've created.

What are good coding habits?

One really good programming habit to have is to ensure that you create functions or classes for code that will be reused on occasion. You should never find yourself rewriting code that's being used repeatedly as it adds to code-bloat, making it unnecessarily larger in size and scale.
