I have an errant ; appearing in a react app screen. Hundreds of components in this friggin monstrosity.

How would you find the extra ; to remove it?

Kill me now!

    Just remove all semicolons, you don't need them.

    Technically correct. Good job.

    Instead I will spend three days creating an automated framework to remove the semicolons in each file one at a time until the test succeeds. Fuck it.

    Can’t you inspect the browser with react devtools to find the component that contains the semicolon?

    I'd start by looking for all the semicolons thst aren't at the EOL.

    I'd start by using something other than React ....

    Joking, we use it at work, but didn't IDE search helping? Search for ; and do a quick overview if there is something that doesn't look right?

    Found it. 194 files changed. Remove semicolon from 88 files. Edit for loops add them back. Binary search. Rinse repeat. When in doubt use brute force. Fuck javascript.

    I got a woohoo from the project manager. Fuck you project manager. You could not have found it.
