    You wasted 3 hours of your life so far lol

    But yeah. I find the most mysterious and time-consuming of problems are usually caused by a very minor detail that is so obvious it gets overlooked immediately.

    And even if you know that’s probably the case, sometimes your brain will just discard information that isn’t consistent with its assumed reality, and it tells you the piece of code you just read is fine when it’s obviously not.

    Troubleshooting/debugging is fun.

      Oh god that reminds me of those cases where it IS a language bug. It’s like just not part of reality somehow so you don’t see it.
