@futurebird I teach CS and sometimes get the same issue. One thing I do is immediately ask the nearest student if they can spot the problem with the first students code - encourage them to help each other out (even encouraging light competitiveness about spotting easy mistakes that they should have seen right away). Second, I always start with a question -e.g. “where is the problem most likely to be?” - until they learn to ask that question themselves.
