Six hours just for a semicolon? Man that is brutal. Like staring at the screen forever and it's just one little dot missing. I would have thrown my keyboard out the window for sure. But hey at least you found it right? Better than shipping broken code. Still though six hours is crazy for something so tiny.

Man six hours for a semicolon is rough but I feel that too. You're looking at code so long your eyes start playing tricks on you. I've spent whole afternoons tracking down a missing bracket and by the end you're not even sure what's real anymore. At least you caught it before it went live though, that would have been a nightmare. Ever find something dumb like that right after you gave up and walked away?
