Slices, Foul Balls, & Air Balls An unclear commit message can be a sign that work was not appropriately broken down into smaller chunks. It’s likely that it has become more complex and took longer to complete because of it. For example, a change to the contact form should not include a change to the authentication form. Keep changes simple and deliver earlier. Another advantage to this is it keeps potential problems after deployment isolated.

Style guides should be an important part of your coding process. No, I'm not talking about what font or theme you use in your text editor/IDE. Style guides are a set of coding conventions to follow in the context of a language or framework. There are style guides already available for many languages and frameworks. We have found this to be an important part of our process here at Greane Tree Technology.
