Going through a list of PHP dependencies of a legacy project and routinely marking libs as "abandoned in 2008." You know you're doing legacy archaeology when you download zip copies of code via the wayback machine.

I had to turn off all capitalization-related autocorrect in Word. It's just incompatible with technical documents. reCAPTCHA is not an accidental caps lock. GChart is not a typo.

Make sure your processes work for you and not the other way around. Also, pay attention to feedback from the people on the ground. There's nothing that kills productivity and quality like processes that are disconnected from reality.

Having a 1000-page manual detailing where the figurative landmines are buried is orders of magnitude less efficient and riskier than just clearing the minefield. Strive to fix issues instead of documenting workarounds whenever possible.
