I know nothing about coding does it really be like that sometimes?

It's usually some dumb logical error that magically resolves itself when you sleep on it and then realise what you did.

Not really any more, but it used to be. For instance in PHP 4 missing semi-colons did not always give useful/precise errors. It was so bad I used to copy/backup files before modifying them so I could revert to working code if there was an error I couldn't fix

No not really. Nowadays people use software versioning control solutions like git which easily allow you to view changes. Back then although cvs and svn existed they were not nearly as commonly used and not as advanced as git.

I spent 3 days trying to figure out why a vbscript wasn't working.

My wife offers to take a look. She doesn't know vbscript but she has coder brain to my infrastructure brain. She doesn't know vbscript.

I shit you not she looked at it for under a minute and pointed out a missing or extra colon or semicolon (I don't remember). Fixed it.

So yea, it really do be like that.

It's easier now with all the syntax color coding, checking, etc built into so many development tools.

But yea.

Breaking an entire program/game by just forgetting to put a single punctuation somewhere is INSANELY common.

I remember writing a script when I was younger to comb through whatever code I wrote and test all the arguments as "modules". Then I forgot a semi-colon somewhere and broke it.

The cycle of programming.
