I've been programming with lots of dumb people, and I'm particularly dumb myself, but if you really literally spend hours looking for missed semicolons, then you should give up programming no matter if this means more time for date nights or more time to look at the wall.

I dunno, back in the old PHP days (like the really shitty PHP) if you missed a semicolon on an included file, and that file was included in another file, and some dumbass included that in the middle of some other file, you would spend hours looking for it because the error showed it missing in the top-most file.

I have been in the unfortunate position of spending hours looking for a semi colon. Well I was looking for a bug, I didn't know it was a missing semi colon. But it was my first internship after doing one CS class and I was writing PHP.
