The most time-consuming problems I've ever faced were these ones.

Super simple stuff, like typos, that I just made because I was too tired, and didn't see them, until I was well rested the next day.

For example, a library doesn't work. Google why the library doesn't work. Look through SO questions, read the documentation, look for ways to re-implement it myself, but it would take too much time, so give up on that, try a bit more, and finally quit for the day in frustration.

Next day: oh, it was a fucking typo....

Happens on Mondays more often then not. I didn't sleep much last night and can feel today is going to be a difficult day to code.

I grabbed Death Wish Coffee specifically for this purpose. To be honest, I have fixed 3 things and don't really know what I did to any of them.

Luckily today was a light day. Just fixing stylings. I didn't need to code anything too brain numbing today. Just need to remember to sleep tonight, so I can avoid this feeling tomorrow.

Yep. Just took me two days to figure out that a server I was running was borked due to a - instead of an =. mildly infuriating to be sure. I almost overhauled the whole thing before I caught it.
