Regarding the dashboards: I don’t remember how to do it with the web view, but on mobile you can tap and hold the “Home Assistant” header in the sidebar and you can hide all dashboards you don’t want.

I created a single custom dashboard and set it as the only visible one. It doesn’t get touched by any update so far, even 2016.1

Absolutely correct.

I always tell our new developers: If your new feature works, you aren’t done, you have to check if your code has to be refined first, before checking it in. (e.g. duplicated passages made into a common function, ugly hacks removed and “done properly”, stuff like this) Documentation and testing are also mandatory, but that’s because of the industry we work in.
