Probably my favorite take-away from this:

"Ultimately, the goal is to write code that fits in with the other code around it and the system as a whole. If the file you are editing already deviates from these guidelines, do what it does. After you edit a file, a reader should not be able to tell just from coding style which parts you worked on."

This is a real boon to other people on your team.



Most good professionals I have worked with adhere to this simple rule.
