My favourite: The code does not work. You make a change, it breaks more. You undo that mistake: it now works.
I've had:
Code is broken. Make change
Code broken worse. Undo change
Code still broken. Revert to previous version
Code works. Check code- it has the change you just made that didn't work
Good ol' cache.
Or in the silliest circumstances wrong development environment.
Yeah, that's classic
My worst one, have working code, make a change, it broke. Revert it, still broken...
The issue was that all icons and stuff randomly got a wrong size in the GUI. Just had to restart the machine to fix it, but I was really pulling my hair out when I somehow broke things backwards in time.
