Yeah, that's life as a tech. The really hard problems are so satisfying when you finally figure out the solution. It's what makes the job worth doing. Well, it makes the job more fun - getting paid is what makes the job worth doing.
I recently wrote some C code with a parameter "struct *node list". Just *couldn't* see why GCC didn't like it. Tried Visual Studio. That gave a different error message but I still didn't understand it. Fed the code to Google Gemini which pointed out it should be "struct node *list". D'oh!
Well that's just rude, spying on me! Thanks for cleaning up my expletives laden language during such moments, though!
Just had that moment 15 mins ago. Probably 5 more until the end of the day!

(I've only been writing C for about 40 years.)
We're supposed to do that every five minutes, right?
