I strongly agree...

Think future modifications, made in a hurry (of course) by people who don't fully understand your code (of course), or by you when either of the above apply (of course).

You need to write your code so that it is easy to modify in such a way that you are unlikely to “write it wrongly.” Extra braces, extra punctuation, easy-and-obvious indentation style ... all those “unnecessary (sic...) uses of white-space” ... really pay off during the many-years-long practical lifespan of an application.
