title: What are some universal "clean-coding" conventions?
body: <p>Aside from language-specific constructs, for someone who is programming in PHP, javascript, java, and python, what are the top 10 clean coding must-do's? I would like to keep my code as clean as possible and as readable as possible. For example, what's the take on placing the function body opening bracket on the same line as the function declaration vs a new line? Also, what's the take on spacing between things for example (x==10) vs ( x == 10 )?
  Any helpful hints for clean coding will be appreciated!</p>
