I Code
in php a lot. When I'm using my editor a missing semi colon is easy to spot. When I've remoted in to a server and am trying to fix things on the fly using Notepad - the semi colons are the bane of my life. Miss one, just one, and the system comes to a shuddering halt.

There's lots of other symbols that will do the same but semi colons are the worst culprits -the sneaky evil bastards.

Haha
Hadn't thought about it in coding terms!

Especially
if you have to go through some bastards legacy ASP code at the same time as coding PHP and/or Javascript and C#.

Sometimes, the bloody answer (the ;) is staring you in the face, but you've taken a step back in coding time to put your mind into ASP mode and you can't see it for toffee!
