Let's compile a list of common scripting mistakes in Roblox development:
**1. Not using WaitForChild()**
```lua
-- Bad: May error if child hasn't loaded
local part = workspace.MyPart
-- Good: Waits for the child to exist
local part = workspace:WaitForChild("MyPart")
```
**2. Forgetting to disconnect events**
Always disconnect event connections when they're no longer needed to prevent memory leaks.
**3. Running server code on client**
Never trust the client. Always validate on the server side.
