Burning bridges. I get that this applies to every career, but I feel like as developers we are more prone to getting referrals for freelance work or other business opportunities. Sometimes we take more than we can chew and end up burning bridges with people who may end up going somewhere. This has happened to me multiple times in my career and to this day, I still regret making that mistake.
I once was referred to a guy who wanted to build a product in the transportation space. His MVP was really basic and very boring to work on, so I half-assed the work. 7 years later, the company is worth close to $100MM USD.
