Offender # 1 : a sneaky forward slash in an API endpoint that kept throwing CORS errors – Spent 12+ hours debugging and consulting every LLM in existence for help.
Offender # 2 – a similar story – An innocent comma turned a simple variable into a tuple again sending me on a 10+ hour debugging marathon.
You’d think AI would save me from the misery. But no—the real issue was my prompts. I wasn’t clear enough about the problem and finally when I started writing a proper cleaner clearer prompt I realized my mistake in both instances. Lesson: Take time to design a proper prompt, maybe you’ll stumble upon the mistake as you write or maybe just write clean code but who’s got time to do that haha.
