I like Joe Armstrongs 7 deadly sins.

1. Code you wrote you cannot understand a week later - no comments.

2. Code with no specifications.

3. Code that is shipped as soon as it runs and before it's beautiful.

4. Code with added features.

5. Code that is very very very fast and very obscure.

6. Code that is not beautiful.

7. Code you wrote without understanding the problem
