Writing a Module? Download Coder
Anytime you write a Drupal module, you should always have the Coder module installed and enabled to check your code when you think you're done.

It's a snap to use - just click on the "Code review" link for your module on the admin/build/modules page and be humbled by how much smarter it is than you.
I prefer the "minor" mode - using this, Coder finds every little thing from extra white spaces to phantom tabs. Only once I get a clean Coder report do I consider modules I write "done".
