  • Why is my code allergic to semicolons?

  • I spent six hours debugging my Go program only to find out I missed a semicolon. The compiler didn’t cry, but I did. How do you cope with this level of betrayal?

    • Missing semicolons? Pfft. I once spent a whole day debugging only to find the issue was a comment I’d forgotten to close.

      • At this point, I should just turn all my comments into TODOs. Less risky, more self-loathing.

    • I accidentally added an extra semicolon once. The program still ran, but it decided to rename all my variables to “undefined.” Talk about revenge!

    • My philosophy: When life gives you bugs, take a coffee break and pretend debugging is someone else’s problem.
