A similar thing to the Reddit post mentioned in the article happened to me too: I used a not-a-space character that looks like a space once, the text editor autocompletion remembered it and would occasionally substitute it for space. The code looked OK, but compilation failed or threw syntax errors in run time. This continued for several years until I completely reinstalled the editor, with full cleanup.
