3.8 Thou shalt commit changes daily
If someone hits the lottery (the bus scenario is too gruesome) and leaves the company or if someone is sick for a day or two, you forgot to have your latest code committed. While you're out sick and a deadline looms, guess what? Someone else may go through code and notice yours in missing and start fixing/coding your part that's already done. You know how this will end so I'll just say commit your changes daily.
