Despite the high expectations placed on them at times, developers are human. They were the last time we checked anyways. As humans, we are bound to make mistakes from time to time. And simple, common mistakes often slip past our filters the more comfortable we become with something.

Think about it, when you first started writing code you most likely checked every line to make sure things were perfect. As you grow more comfortable with the process, little things often get overlooked and mistakes are made.

But knowing what these common mistakes are and how to avoid them can really help speed up the development process and keep our clients smiling.
