Stuck on a code challenge for 6 hours at a coffee shop in Austin

I was at Strange Brew on South Lamar trying to finish this beginner Python project, a simple to-do list app, and I kept hitting the same error with my while loop. After 6 hours and three different tutorials, I finally realized I was comparing a string to an integer in my condition. Has anyone else spent way too long on a dumb bug like that, and do you have a trick for checking your logic before you run the code?

Ugh, classics. 6 hours for a to-do list is brutal. Pro tip: print your variables before the loop and just eyeball the types. Saves lives.
