Beginner Mistakes

Here's where the pros go back in time to learn from the mistakes of the noobs.

  • 1. Using variable names like 'x' and 'y'
  • 2. Not indenting code
  • 3. Commenting code like nobody will ever read it
  • 4. Over-commenting, because who needs clarity?
  • 5. Semicolon typos (aka ;)
  • 6. Declaring variables in the middle of the function

    • Don't worry, we all make these mistakes. Well, except for that one person. Who's a pro.
