My favourite: The code does not work. You make a change, it breaks more. You undo that mistake: it now works.

Good ol' cache.

It's either cache, DNS or DNS cache.

I've had:

Code is broken. Make change

Code broken worse. Undo change

Code still broken. Revert to previous version

Code works. Check code- it has the change you just made that didn't work

Yeah, that's classic

My worst one, have working code, make a change, it broke. Revert it, still broken...

The issue was that all icons and stuff randomly got a wrong size in the GUI. Just had to restart the machine to fix it, but I was really pulling my hair out when I somehow broke things backwards in time.
