Code as documentation
from
martinfowler.com
I once read: code is read by humans (other team members, or your future self), more than it is read by machines. So, make it more human-readable.
I also found this final piece of advice awesome:
Remember that a code base is owned primarily by a team (even if you practice individual code ownership over bits of it). A professional programmer is prepared to bend her personal style to reflect the needs of the team.
