    The thing is, you don’t make syntax mistakes on purpose. Especially if you know a language extremely well, a syntax error will happen at random, you won’t notice it (if you did, you would have fixed it), and it therefore becomes invisible to you.

    Part of your brain “knows” there’s no error, because you know the language extremely well, and because if you had made an error, you would have fixed it.

    This leads to acute, irrational frustration. It’s very human.

    There’s not really a solution, just smoke more weed and take your eyes off the screen occasionally.

      There are solutions, just use a LSP or read carefully compiler/interpreter errors or run your code through a linter
