Pulled an all-nighter debugging a single missing semicolon last month, and now I run a linter before even opening my code editor.
This happened last week with a Python script for a school project, and it would have saved me 4 hours of staring at the screen if I had just used a linter from the start has anyone else had a tiny typo ruin their whole evening?

Wait, are you sure it was a missing semicolon in Python? Python doesn't really use semicolons for line endings, they're optional and usually for putting multiple statements on one line. But I totally get the pain. Spent three hours once tracking down an extra space in a YAML config file that broke everything. Linters are a lifesaver though, I basically can't code without one running now either.
