Spent 6 hours trying to fix a broken internal link redirect... turns out it was a typo in the URL

I was pulling my hair out on a client site, checking redirects and using about 4 different tools. Finally realized the original link had a lowercase 'p' but the new page used an uppercase 'P'. Has anyone else lost hours to something that dumb?

Dude case sensitivity is the worst. I always double check that stuff now by pasting the full URL into a text editor and comparing character by character. Saves me from wanting to yeet my laptop.

I've started screenshotting URLs before I type them in just so I can reference the exact string without alt-tabbing.
