You ever have a Pajeet moment? I just did. I decided to write a little script in python. I haven't used python since college, but it's a simple language and I didn't think I would have any trouble. I started writing, and could not get my code to run. I kept getting this error, "unexpected symbol near whatever." I went online and found a little python cheatsheet. I thought I was doing function declarations wrong. I wasn't. I spent an hour and a half trying to figure out what i was doing wrong.
I forgot the exclamation point in the shebang
If I had remembered what python errors even looked like, I would have known right away they weren't even python errors.
