Since I likely won't be able to attend Boostcon yet again, my $0.02 favorite "How I code rule" is:
You must copy, i.e. cut and paste, the code at least once, possibly twice, before making a function out of it through refactoring.
I like that your rule -somewhat- contradicts Denis' "duplication is evil". But if you are not there to talk about it, we will miss the subtleties, and Denis' side will "win". :-)
I think this is a great idea for a talk and if it is made available on the video site afterwards, I'd be very interested in watching it.

There should be videos (eventually) afterwards. See http://blip.tv/search?q=boostcon. But it is definitely not the same as being there. Tony
