That time you spent 6 hours debugging only to find you had a typo in a variable name. The variable was literally called 'temprary' instead of 'temporary'. What's your most embarrassing debugging story? 👇

An errant slash in a database table name being assigned dynamically by a variable. I spent a morning looking though the data trying to find the cause of the insert failure (assuming it was something that needed to be escaped) before spotting it related to the table name not data...

A coder would have called it tmp or if feeling fancy temp but that's it.
