Question about how long it took to fix a missing bracket
I was learning JavaScript and built a small website for practice. My page wouldn't load at all, and I had no idea why. I searched through my code for three hours straight. Turns out, I forgot to close a bracket in a function. That wait drove me crazy, but I learned to check the basics first.

Used to hate checking brackets, but now I do it first thing.

Overthinking brackets just means your code has bigger problems you're ignoring.

My friend Sarah once spent a whole weekend debugging a script. She finally found a missing curly brace in like, the third line. The relief was real, but man, what a waste of time.
