Potential performance gains should not be dismissed. Some of these 'tricks' can make your code orders of magnitude faster
Good stuff!
When writing code, readability should be a priority.
I can't agree with this more, and I would add that sometimes even things that aren't necessarily tricks, things like common language constructs, do more harm than good to the readability of code. An idea I've seen come up a lot is shorter == better; so for example, people will apply ternary operators to make the code more concise, but it just means that you have to study the code for those extra few seconds.
