I vehemently disagree with the idea that returning from a function often is bad and that it should be used "sparingly". I find that code that returns as early as possible is the best. The idea of a nearly mandatory single return point is a very antiquated notion. I'm much more concerned when I see ten levels of indentation for no good reason.

Likewise with continue and break. I think this advice is very bad. All the other recommendations seemed fine.
