- You MUST deal with disposables by registering them immediately after creation for later disposal. Use helpers such as `DisposableStore`, `MutableDisposable` or `DisposableMap`. Do NOT register a disposable to the containing class if the object is created within a method that is called repeadedly to avoid leaks. Instead, return a `IDisposable` from such method and let the caller register it.
- You MUST NOT use storage keys of another component only to make changes to that component. You MUST come up with proper API to change another component.
- Use `IEditorService` to open editors instead of `IEditorGroupsService.activeGroup.openEditor` to ensure that the editor opening logic is properly followed and to avoid bypassing important features such as `revealIfOpened` or `preserveFocus`.
- Avoid using `bind()`, `call()` and `apply()` solely to control `this` or partially apply arguments; prefer arrow functions or closures to capture the necessary context, and use these methods only when required by an API or interoperability.
## Learnings
- Minimize the amount of assertions in tests. Prefer one snapshot-style `assert.deepStrictEqual` over multiple precise assertions, as they are much more difficult to understand and to update.
