  3. Nice list. I would add
    51) Repeating myself 3 or more times.
    52) Not finding things where they should be.

  5. I don’t agree with “Cold, rainy days”. Cold, rainy days make coding inside a comfortable modern office an absolute delight, with a premium coffee or tea on your desk, sitting in your big premium chief leather chair and of course the premium Delphi IDE on the screen!
