I spent Tuesday night on a little dice roller script from a tutorial. Kept getting a NameError and could not figure out why. Turned out I typed "rolls" in one spot and "roll" in another. Three hours gone over one missing letter. I felt pretty dumb but fixing it was satisfying. How do you all track down these tiny bugs without losing your mind?
