Just realized my loop was running forever because I forgot a simple thing

I was messing with a while loop in Python and it just kept going, turns out I never incremented my counter variable. Has anyone else had a brain freeze moment like that with loops?

Spent a solid ten minutes staring at my screen because a for loop wouldn't end. I was iterating over a list but accidentally appending to it inside the loop, so it just kept growing forever. Felt like a real genius that day.

Classic @mitchell.jessica, building a list that never quits.
