Hard-Coding values that should be looked up....that never ends well. We have a guy here that continually thinks that's ok to do (why would it change?), and it's bitten us more than once.

I think i'm guilty of the first one, although I usually only comment when it's not clear what the code does or it may have some unintended side effects.

Using too many if-statements where better suitable mechanism could be used instead.

ctx - it is assumed that it should point to some context structure, it is(should; may) not variable in usual sense but rather - the function parameter so it may be "pure functional".

I have nothing to say against use of comments. They may not be necessary for some, but usually do no harm to anyone.
I believe programmers are free to choose any name for a variable so long as they communicate well to people you work with. Using "o" is fine. If it's a problem, change your font.
Bad formatting used to a bad practice, but nowadays, we have apps and services to make them neat.

Eeee! Bad news... 
I could find a couple of questions or answers from you and down vote them? That would give you another chance?

Too bad it was gone the second you posted that 
It's an OO world.
