The life of a coder/developer is both a wonderful and immensely frustrating experience. The scales tip in both directions, usually several times a day.
Today was no exception. I’ve been stuck on something for the last few days. My code should have been working, but it didn’t. If I had hair to spare, I’d probably have torn some of it out in frustration.
Of course, as these things tend to go, I found the reason why my code wasn’t working. It was a typo. A single letter that shouldn’t have been there.
My sense of relief is somewhat moderated by my amazement at how I missed it.
But, on the other hand, I found the bug! Now on to the next new code and the next bug.

I’m so pleased you found it. I guess it’s now official – you are a pro! It’s amazing how something so small can cause such an issue.
Well, by “pro”, you mean “determined dabbler”, right? 😉
These types of bugs are both one of the joys and curses of coding. Such simple things can make a big difference.
