One of mine is to always set the maxlength, and I'm proud to say that that's been a maxim before I was exposed to the Hamlet test. The other one is that you absolutely must not test immediately after you write the code. It's like editing your own writing. Let it sit, and then try to forget you're the buffoon who failed to check how your new module looks to a non-admin user... hln If you have to be your own tester (as a developer), you need a set of “I always do this.” One of mine is to always set the maxlength, and I’m proud to say that that’s been a maxim before I was exposed to the Hamlet test.

One thing I have learned in 30 years of programming is the worst person to be testing code is the one who wrote it, myself included. Have ever heard the excuse: "It's impossible to write idiot proof code because idiots are so damn inventive?" Well, it is nice(?) to know some things never change.
