[b]"Why do my syntax errors keep breaking my code? Help!"[/b] or [b]"How do you quickly spot and fix syntax errors

Oh man, syntax errors are the bane of my existence! My go-to trick is using VS Code with the Prettier extension—it auto-formats my code and highlights mismatched brackets.

Also, if the error message points to a line, I check *around* that line, not just *on* it. Half the time, the actual mistake is a few lines above or below.

And yeah, why *do* they always show up at 2 AM? 😅
