Appreciation post: the day my code finally compiled after 3 days of errors
My first real project was a simple calculator in Python. For three straight days, I kept getting syntax errors and logical bugs that made the whole thing crash. I was about to give up and switch to woodworking full time. Then on the fourth morning, I found a missing colon in line 17 and fixed a variable name typo in line 42. The thing ran perfect after that, and I felt like I had just lifted a refrigerator by myself. Has anyone else had a breakthrough moment that simple?

You do realize a missing colon and a typo aren't exactly heroic material, right?

Did you frame that missing colon or are you saving that for your retirement speech? I've never felt more foolish than when my big fix was swapping a comma for a period.
