  1. The time invested in configuring tools will probably never be recouped by increased productivity. That isn't a reason not to it.
  2. Don't write what already exist.
  3. Config to have easy setup and tear down, without destroying anything important.
  4. Try to stay lean. More tools begets more maintenance.
    1. The best code is no code.
    2. Its better to have a imperfect tool than to have envs diverge.
    3. Allow for variation between envs.
  5. Any rule can be ignored if it has a non-stupid reason.
  6. Take lots of screenshots.
  7. Don't be a idiot and store large files
  8. Do not tightly couple components.
