Serious question, does anyone actually follow the 'room temp ingredients' rule?

My chocolate chip cookies were always flat and greasy for a year... then I started baking them straight from the fridge. The dough was cold, maybe 40 degrees, and they came out thick and chewy overnight. What's a baking 'rule' you all happily ignore?

Room temp is a lie. Cold butter for life. My scones are way better that way.
