Meme transcription:

An obviously exhausted Spongebob is raising his arms in a rejoicing gesture. His face shows great tiredness, but also happiness.

Fine, but I hope you're taking a few seconds to understand why the error message you received came from the the syntactic mistake you fixed.

A single Vs double quote mistake should be 5 seconds from error message to fix, with a thought process like:

  • "Unable" is illegal key-word on line 163
  • Go to line 163 - "Unable" is the first word of a string...oh the previous string must not be closed correctly.
  • Find previous string on line 154. There it is - the wrong quote mark.

If you don't learn what the error message is telling you, you will be forever doomed take time to cut'n'paste code into an LLM. It might save you time today because that thought process takes you 2 mins not 5 seconds, but that's not the level you want to stay at.
