There is only one thing on the list that I take exception to: - build and release in release mode. I can't even begin to enumerate the number of times that having a line number (provided by a debug build with a .pdb file) would have saved hours, if not days, of troubleshooting and debugging. The 1% (or less) extra processing needed by having a debug build/pdb release is insignificant compared to my time finding and fixing bugs that are hard or impossible to reproduce in the development environment... especially when the customer is breathing down my neck :)
