Spent 4 hours trying to fix a CSS typo that was just a missing semicolon

Last Tuesday I was building my first personal website and the whole layout was a mess. I checked my HTML, my CSS, everything looked fine but the navbar just wouldn't line up. Turns out I forgot one semicolon at the end of a line. My coworker Dave came over and spotted it in like 10 seconds. Has anyone else stared at broken code for hours just to find something that small?

Forgot a closing tag once and spent the whole afternoon blaming the internet.

That missing semicolon thing happens with more than just code honestly. Its wild how one tiny detail can mess up an entire system whether its a recipe or putting furniture together. Life has a way of testing patience with the smallest stuff to remind us that the little things actually matter.
