Parse errors are the worst, but there are some tools that can help. If you’re using VS Code, the Prettier extension is great for catching syntax issues. It auto-formats your code and can sometimes highlight where things are going wrong.
Also, if you’re working with JavaScript, ESLint is a lifesaver. It catches a lot of syntax issues, including parse errors, before you even run the code.
And yeah, funny story—I once spent an entire afternoon debugging a parse error only to realize I’d forgotten to close a string with a quote. The struggle is real.
