One Line Error Localization

Description

A Roll Safe meme shows the man tapping his temple with a knowing smile, overlaid with large white all-caps text. The visible text reads: "IF YOU WANT TO BE SURE WHAT LINE THE ERROR IS ON" at the top and "WRITE ALL YOUR CODE ON ONE LINE" at the bottom; a small "imgflip.com" watermark appears in the lower-left corner. The technical joke is a deliberately terrible debugging shortcut: if every statement is on line one, stack traces and compiler diagnostics always point to the same line. It satirizes advice that optimizes one metric, line-number certainty, while destroying readability, maintainability, formatting, and actual troubleshootability.
