I am a huge proponent of great tools. But, tools are really only as good as
the awareness of such problems (that can easily hide).

If there are any such particular pet problems that are mines waiting to go
off, or problems you face on-and-off as a developers or team lead - I would
love to hear about them.

Cheers,
