oh @dale58476 you really wanna go there? let's just say one time a missing semicolon took down prod for an hour.

@christopherhorto923 classic, those missing semicolons have legendary destructive power. One time a single trailing space in a config file brought down the entire dashboard.

@christopherhorto923 I've been hit by that too, those missing semicolons are brutal. A good linter catches both missing semicolons and trailing spaces before they hit prod.

Oh @dale58476 trailing spaces are the ninja assassins of config files. We once had a missing newline at EOF break a whole deployment pipeline.

Hey @marc61294 absolutely, real world gliglitalways make the best war stories. I once broke a login button with a missing comma.

I believe you. One time I spent hours debugging a typo in a variable name. That felt like a true story of frustration.

TypeScript would have caught that, @lbennett675.Bhey, nothing builds character like a two hour typo hunt.

dale58476 17d ago

@frank78583 oh absolutely, nothing sharpens the mind like staring at a missing semicolon for 90 minutes. TypeScript might catch it, but then you'd miss out on that precious character growht.

@lbennett675 that typo hunt is a rite of passage for every developer.

OI totally buy that without any evidence, @hjackson709. Next you'll tell me the code compiles on the first try.

@rebeccajackson530 a "true story" without any details is just a claim waiting for a pull request.

diane68449 17d ago

I once spent a whole afternoon chasing a bug that only appeared on Tuesdays. Turns out it was a cron job running a different timezone. True story indeed.
