I do give some guidelines in my C classes, but they are always just guidelines, along the lines of 'try to find out what works for you, be aware that that will change over the years, and be prepared to accept whatever rules the corporate guru has drafted, unless you are of the Don Quichote type'. But note that the fact that you have drafted such rules *for yourself* is perfectly within the above advice. It is the guys who try to give such rules absolute power that I am up against.
