My first CSS layout finally broke at 2 a.m. last night

I spent 6 hours building a simple two-column page with CSS grid for my first real project. Around 2 a.m. I refreshed it and everything just collapsed into a single jumbled column. Turned out I forgot a closing brace on one media query, and it threw off the whole container. I went back through line by line, found that one missing character, and it fixed itself. Has anyone else had a tiny typo waste their whole evening like that?

Man, life's like that. One small screwup ruins the whole day.

Honestly, I used to think one bad thing didn't have to ruin everything. I'd tell myself, "Just shake it off, the rest of the day is still yours." But man, you're right. One little mistake, like spilling coffee on your shirt right before a meeting, and it's like your whole brain just locks onto that. It colors every other thing that happens after it, even the good stuff. Ngl, it took me a long time to admit that, but yeah, that small screwup can really set the tone no matter how hard you try to fight it.
