What is the most common error you see people doing over and over? Maybe some common wrong belief?

I think the 2 most common errors in JS, are mostly:

• Trying to access any property into an undefined or null.
• Trying to invoke an attribute as a function, this can relate with the first point, anyhow I saw this too much.

In the management side:

• Not hear the people, it can be someone is about to leave the project/company.
• Not hear the recommendations before taking a poor technical decision.

In general:

• Over-optimize everything without setting the proper metrics.
• Keep technical debt growing.
• Set everything as an urgent requirement.

True: when everything is a priority, there is no prioritisation.

Thinking that something is "simple", or even worse: "easy".

And once they have been burned enough by this error they will blow everything out of proportion, which generally leads to a downward spiral of diminished returns.

Cutting quality helps to meet a deadline.

In my stack (Oracle APEX) I'd say it's instead validating data entry to prevent errors, it's trying to handle an insurmountable amount of potential exceptions with "nice error messages".

At the language level : Variable length Indexed Lists are the only collection you need. Arrays, Sets, Hashtables, Dictionaries, Linked Lists, and others all are better solutions for some problems.
