1) Writing clear, and understandable code.
2) Easily reproducible work - this expands the open source culture, and that truly moves ahead innovation, and development of human civilization
3) Proper crediting of sources - giving credit where its due is underrated but essentially so important

@mayank_gupta11 yes, in fields such as research, or scientific professions, credit/citations are literally the currency (given the monetary or social returns are so less compared to other lifestyles). giving credit where it's due can truly recognize and gratify people for their efforts.
one can still take inspiration and construct something on top of someone else's already existing work, or intellectual property. that's really not going to take any sort of value away from their addition to already existing work. mutual appreciation through credits is only going to make this world a better place.
didn't mean to ramble, but coming from a research background, i really do have a lot to talk about proper crediting.
@somnathsandeep so true man. Keeping the code simple is the toughest thing to do man.
And proper crediting of sources, people just fail to understand the importance of this.
