Points 1, 8, 9 and 10 overlap themselves. Disagree on inline comments. If you work in a more than yourself sized team, you'll notice everyone thinks different, understand thing different and codes different, even if you try to follow some coding standards. Therefore there's no warranty someone else will understand that minute of genius that lead to that particular line of code. Even more, your future self is most likely to thank any useful extra information on your code.
