Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Love this guy.
In general - Good tips.
In detail - Some annotations:
For my projects I usually crimp the GND/5V/3.3V wires manually. First of all, to actually have them all in black/red/orange. Second, because I can put two wires into one connector and therefore "daisy chain" this kind of lines, or at least feed two peripherals from one source instead of needing a kind of additional "ground/power rail".
Sometimes, my box of DuPont shells does not always provide the right length/pin count. My box here has up to 2x6 pins. A bit of superglue is your friend here.
Even if you are using only pins 4,5, and 8 of a connector, use a full length DuPont shell, and just populate the pins you need.
Use a white permanent marker or similar means to mark pin 1 on your DuPont shells.
EDIT: Yes, yes, the bot was right...
