6. Be an efficient coder not just a good coder; always think of making the code better and better by testing it and by keep on changing it.

7. Rails code smell is important. It's surprising but sometimes code can stink. When a code contains complexities and a large number of indents and loops that code raises a stink. Code climate is a tool that helps in quantifying the code smell; it helps us simplify and make the code better. It's not only about getting things done faster it's about getting things done faster and better.

8. Ruby lets a programmer concentrate on the logic that he wants to do in that code rather than concentrating on the language internals; it helps in concentrating on the core and important aspects.

9. Above all, be passionate about coding. You have to love it to be the great!
