How could they make the mistake obvious? It's a mistake in a string value!

It had me confused too. I figured I was looking for a syntax error in the config format since it’s an introduction…to the config format.

How about not making the very first thing on the page a confusing puzzle?

They should at least reveal the answer somewhere immediately close by. I couldn't spot the error after a few minutes, came to the comments to find out what it was. Not a great introduction because you're asking someone to spot an error in something they don't know the syntax or ruleset for.

The project looks cool though.

Change the name from Bill to John/Jhon. That's more obvious than all the barcode characters next to each other.
