Tell me 5 things that drive you as a developer crazy.
1. When someone copy/pastes large block of code in a chat application.
2. Unclear variable names.
3. Lots of if/else.
4. Re-inventing without researching existing solution.
5. Developer trying to optimize a piece of code without thinking if that should be optimized.
