This is why sql is fun.
tonebacas
shouldn't the compiler give off that error/warning right off the bat?
Lotzi1991
Happens to the best of us dude
iamsounoriginal
Been there, left a semi-colon off of that.

Know that feel. Oh lord do I know that feel...

I am dear inside
Stormy251
Haha nice that is oh so painful but quite funny.

As a software engineer, this is how we all start out. Eventually those bugs will take you seconds.
PapaCoder
As a programming teacher, I am always trying to encourage my students with statements like these. You develop an eye for it after a while.
JaxAndHisLampPost
People often forget where they came from.
yomo133
I know how you feel. I always type puboc instead of public
NickCagesAccentFromConAir
I often type pubic. It still makes me laugh when I do.
ThunderBallsONI
Are you using notepad or something get an ide

I once spent an entire all nighter debugging what turned out to be a missing semi colon.
SaltyInternetPirate
Ah, the joys of automatic declaration!
tasan
This hit home a little too hard
GlowstickJedi
Two hours to find a typo like that? You need a better IDE/compiler
TatersWhatsTatersPrecious
Intellisense has made me lazy
PwnasaurusRecks
I feel your pain, 5 hours for me once in a 2000 line program, I was dividing a float by 3 and not 3.0 ...
magmadar
keep your chin up and thanks for the laugh.
brewmeister
Spent a shameful amount of time debugging code one night... I typed "groud" instead of "ground". We're all prone to humanity, it seems.
Stormy251
Indeed, it's usualy something in the middle of a word that your brain just fills in for you .... Like it did with the word usually ;-)
ruinthejoke
Maybe you should consider a programming language that is more user-friendly when it comes to such trivial mistakes

I hope you are paid by the hour.

That was similar to yesterday for me
LukeSkywankr
Which language?
Procrasturbating
Probably a C language since string is a variable type. | #include
GlitterInTheDarkNearTheTannhauserGate
I'd be curious to know too, even JavaScript has static type checking / linter
LukeSkywankr
Exactly
beergolem
if (foo=TRUE) do_something(). 5 hours of "why the **** do you do something every time?!" later: "Oh."
MrPickins
Switching back and forth from C# to VB.Net, I do this way too often...
fingerswipes
You must code in notepad. This is why people use IDE's
MildlyConcernedTV
Powershell tells you was is causing the bug btw
ErikTheMostViking
Sublime text is pretty neato too
TheRealRed5
I've really been digging notepad ++ lately. and lots of extensions for VS.
TommyRottn
You younguns and your fancy tools - try doing that on an 80 column green screen at 3:00 in the morning.
TremendouslyBestWords
Maybe a variable name. Compiler/interpreter should have found this, though.
cuddlez
no kidding. that's a hell of a typo to go unnoticed for 2 hours.
chickadeedeedeedee
I've done it. To my eternal shame.
whywontallthesestupendouslylongnameseverendijustdontunderstand
typos still happen
turbulentlizard
If it takes you 2 hours to find a basic syntax error, you shouldn't be a programmer.
Moghul
or OR or... Javascript?
GlitterInTheDarkNearTheTannhauserGate
javascript devs worth their salt would be using static type checking / linter. this isn't 2006
Moghul
Like ' typeof (variable) === "strimg" ' perhaps?
fingerswipes
Literally LMAO

Tried to upvote for two hours but found I had typed upboat.

Mild lols. Or exhaling spare air. In any case, thanks
whiteSmudge
what's upboat?

What's strimg?

Nuttn, what's upboat with you?

99 little bugs in the code, 99 little bugs. Take one down. Patch it around. 126 little bugs in the code
ISayFuckAllTheTime
This is fantastic
rendombeastly
As someone who had to test and validate a group project website, this hits home.
TwitchDays
I'm in school for coding.. And stuff like this scares me
SupermansGoatee
It's actually really rewarding to solve a bug that's been plaguing your team for hours
TwitchDays
I imagine so. Its just a little intimidating to think about the transfer from doing stuff like that in school to doing it at work. Ya know?
SupermansGoatee
yeah, I just got my first job outside of school. It also happens to be a job where I am expected to act as if I've been doing this 1/?
SupermansGoatee
for years. very sink or swim. it's been the most stressful yet fun part of my life so far. 2/2
