I just wrote my first program that actually ran without errors on the 12th try. Why did that feel so huge?

Remember that first time you finally get a stubborn grease stain off a driveway? It's that same kind of win... you fought with it forever and then bam, it just works. Makes you want to sit back and stare at it for a minute.

Then you realize you just spent 45 minutes cleaning a patch of concrete you'll never look at again. Peak adulthood.

That "bam, it just works" moment is a bit too clean for real grease stains. Usually you're on your third round of degreaser, scrubbing with a stiff brush until your arms burn, and it fades slowly over a couple days. The win is real, but it's more of a slow, grimy battle than a sudden magic trick.
