Spent 4 hours debugging an AI script and the fix was a missing comma

I was tweaking an LLM pipeline to sort customer feedback and it kept crashing on the same line. Took me until 2am to notice a missing comma in a JSON block. Has anyone else had a stupid simple bug eat up way more time than it should?

That "missing comma" thing is brutal, I just read a post from a developer who spent a whole day on a bug that turned out to be a typo in a variable name. Did you feel that moment of relief or just pure frustration when you found it?

lol I called a variable "bananna" once and spent 2 hours wondering why it broke.
