“When writing code, you should, of course, keep all the best practices in mind that you can think of. But there is no need to consider them all at the same time. Make a balance between code quality and speed of development, applying the best practices that apply to the situation you're in at that point. The best practices are best practices for a majority of the situations, but they are generalized so as to apply to a majority of the situations. This also means they may not apply to your situation, or there may be more important things you should weigh in.”
