Spent 9 hours chasing a CSS float issue that was one missing line
Finally figured out my layout was breaking because I forgot to clear the float after a nested div, and the weird part is I even watched a tutorial on this exact thing the night before, so has anyone else had that moment where the answer was right there but your brain just wouldn't connect it?

Spent 9 hours on a missing line? That sounds more like a bad day than a brain issue. I've had similar moments, but usually it's because I'm tired or distracted, not because my brain can't connect obvious dots. I mean, a float clear is pretty basic stuff. If you watched a tutorial the night before, maybe you were still half asleep or just didn't care enough in the moment. Real talk, sometimes the fix is right there and you skip it because you're busy staring at the broken result instead of double-checking the simple stuff. That's on you, not the code.
