If we are talking attitudes, then what's really needed is to care about code you write. I don't think you want terribly many hard and fast rules, but a considered approach to everything. Cleverness is great when appropriate. Things shouldn't be used just because you want to use them, things get used because they enhance the engineering. I think the greatest danger is probably having too many rigid ideas about coding.
