Hit 100 lines of code in my first Python project and honestly felt like a god for a second

I started learning Python three weeks ago and my first real project was a simple to-do list app. I hit exactly 100 lines of code and it actually worked without crashing. For a beginner like me, that felt huge because I thought I'd never get past copying tutorials. It made me realize milestones don't have to be big like building a website or an app. Did anyone else hit a random number that made them feel like they actually knew what they were doing?

Nah man I used to think like that too, until I actually started coding. When you're green and everything is just copy-paste from tutorials, hitting 100 lines that actually do something on their own feels legit. It's not about the complexity, it's about that first time your brain goes "wait I actually understand what the computer is doing here." That's a real milestone even if the code is basic.

100 lines is cool for a first project. But feeling like a god over a to-do list? Come on. You basically told the computer to add and remove text. That's like feeling proud for using a microwave right.
