Update: My first real project finally worked after three tries
Tbh, last Thursday I spent all night trying to get a simple weather app to pull data from an API. The first two times, my code just crashed without any clear error. Ngl, I almost gave up. On the third try, I realized I forgot to put my API key in quotes. Honestly, that one missing character was the whole problem. Has anyone else had a tiny mistake ruin hours of work?

My last one character mistake was a comma instead of a period in a config file last month. It took me a solid two hours of staring at the same twenty lines before I saw it. I feel you on the API key thing, that's a classic. Shane244 is right, it does make you triple check everything, but then you miss the next tiny mistake anyway. It's like the universe's way of keeping us humble.

Remember when a missing semicolon broke my entire site layout? It's wild how the smallest things can cause the biggest headaches, makes you triple check everything now. What was your last "one character" mistake?
