The Debugging Adventure

There is a special kind of confidence that comes with writing code late at night. You push your changes, lean back in your chair, and then the terminal lights up red. What follows is a journey through every stage of grief, compressed into about forty-five minutes of frantic searching.

The culprit is almost always something embarrassingly small. A missing semicolon, a typo in a variable name, or a bracket in the wrong place. You swear you will never make the same mistake again, and then you do it the very next day.
