Not the most popular opinion I have but when you’re designing 2.0, id make a module for your custom records and fields that have readable properties to IDs so that your code is more readable since you don’t have IDs plastered everywhere. 

Can you give me an example on this? Can't wrap my head around it without an example.

like if i have a custom record called temp employee then i'd create a temp employee module

all that module would have is property to ID combos like

{ TEMP_EMPLOYEE_NAME: 'custbody_templemplpoyeename'}

then you'd use use your module and the property where you'd need that ID instead of using the ID as the property is more readable

So this will be like a custom object with readable fields that map to the actual fields

but a self contained module so that its reusable easily
