The document discusses five common mistakes made when developing applications with Angular: 1) Improper event handler usage that violates separation of display and logic; 2) Nested scope binding issues caused by how Angular handles primitive objects; 3) Controllers that are too complex and perform tasks that belong in services; 4) Failure to use available debugging tools like browser consoles; 5) Writing non-idiomatic code that does not follow Angular's intended declarative style. Avoiding these mistakes can help reduce bugs and make Angular applications easier to develop and maintain.
