Can we talk about the time I spent a whole month trying to make a simple number guessing game in Python and it just wouldn't work

Last week, I finally found the missing colon after my 'if' statement that I'd been staring at since March, and my friend just laughed and said 'syntax errors, man'.

Remember when I debugged a print statement for three days?

Spent a whole afternoon once because I forgot the parentheses.

Three days seems like a story that gets better each time you tell it. A missing quote or a typo might cost an hour, sure. But the entire seventy-two hour period was spent on a single print command? What was it printing, the meaning of life? You must have been checking everything except the actual line of code.
