Oh man... I fucked up. I spent almost 36-40 hours in 3 days trying to fix a bug, that was quite literally a single, two word fix.

Change `Key` to `Value.State`

I burned that time into the weekend. I'm both satisfied and dissatisfied with this decision.

Those are the best issues. You don't want to hunt them down only to find out the design is completely broken and it has to be rewritten to fix it

These happen all the time.

I remember I burned through 2+ weeks hunting down a severe bug. Turns out, the problem was a ')' instead of a '}' in a string that should be interpolated.

In ide these two are visually very similar. In a file full of such strings

Oh man, try finding a single missing comma after a string in Python.

Dont be sad, we have all been there

One of the things Insomnia could do

Taking multiple paid weeks to find an issue with a solution that has a character length of the average text between father and son is a rite of passage.

@AlgoRythm lol. That quip at the end on point 😅

Not wasted if you learnt shit

Don’t forget to let non technicals know that this shit sucks and they don’t have to deal with it. That is why your pay is justified.

Seems a regular stackoverflow copy-paste bug

"I burned that time into the weekend. I'm both satisfied and dissatisfied with this decision."

I've been coding less lately precisely because of this very realization.

And now I'm even more satisfied and dissatisfied at the same time.

@devapsarl it really wasn't. The issue had the most annoying red herring and no one on my team could figure it out or replicate it.
