Here are some of the interesting resources I came across these couple of weeks.

Good Coding Practices

Single Responsibility - Each piece of code should only do one task
Open/Closed - Each piece of should be open for extension but close for modification, allowing its functionality to be extended, but not modified
Liskov Substitution - Functionality that involves a class instance should have the same behavior when dealing with their child classes
Interface Segregation - Multiple client-specific interfaces are often better than one single general interface (Think microservices, the authentication endpoint only handles authentication, the CRUD endpoint only handles data)
Dependency Inversion - Splitting complex dependencies into well-defined layers (abstractions)

Rajnish wrote a short ingenious function for picking values by their keys from a JavaScript Object.
