Great post! I laughed as I read each mistake, thinking of the times I had seen it myself. I could almost pin names of people I know to each mistake.
As I hacker, I love #11 the most: Accepting that it's "not possible" too easily rather than finding a way. Whenever I hear that, I become that much more determined. My mentor once taught me, "We can always find a way to do the right thing." The words "find a way" still get that Pavlovian response from me. </wipes slobber from keyboard>
