Kristian Dupont Knudsen has a nice article on his site. Instead of telling all of us what we should do as programmers he takes the opposite approach. I find this refreshing for some reason.

A few of the items made me laugh because in school and at various jobs I've been told that these things had to be done. Especially the "Design first, then code" item on Kristian's list. I'm sure this would make a number of project managers I know go a little crazy.
