Spent an hour debugging why my API wasn't returning data.

Checked logs.
Checked database.
Checked network requests.
Questioned my life choices.

The problem?

The server wasn't running. 😭

What do you mean nobody uses C++ anymore! I just spent seven and a half and a ton of thousands of dollars learning it!
