Just wondering what tips or tricks you guys might have to share. As always with posts like this, please only one tip per post so they can be voted on independently.

I'll start: however you do your theming, you can use the mothership theme as a base theme for your theme to inherit from so that your markup will be a lot cleaner and less verbose.

Before coding any custom feature in Drupal, make sure there isn't already a module for it.

I heard of people using internationalization features to change bits of text that they otherwise couldn't.
