For me it's getting out of touch with new things as I work in my domain of expertise. Big reason I hang around DEV.

I get sort of paranoid over how well to model a problem. Too much focus on getting the "modeling" right could result in severe over-analysis and the possibility that nothing is shipped. Too little focus could result in an uphill battle forever thereafter.

People misinterpret clean-code and think all comments are bad.

Comments that tell "why" are almost always helpful!

Projects with too much money. They never deliver value. You join them, everybody is best pals on good rates - then, when the crunch happens, the team moves into self-preservation mode.
