Funny Mistakes You Normally Make While Writing Programs by logicDcoder(op): 2:50pm On Dec 03, 2020*

Mine is that I normally forget to terminate some statements (I use syntactically written languages(Java, C++ etc.) not dynamically written ones(Python, kotlin etc.)) and also if I want to compile a program using PowerShell I often use backward slashes instead of forward slashes while inputting the program's directory. The latter made me debug a bugless code for over one hour *laughs* trying to find something that's not there. I later found out that I used backward slashes (Even though I was facially happy but deep inside I was filled with anger).

lol . . funny but you should learn to use a debugger
instead of having to manually screen every line trying to find where you did a typo or didn't add a terminator . . .
