Hit 1000 lines of Python before my first real bug fix

I started learning Python about 8 weeks ago with zero coding background, just the free tutorials and some YouTube videos. Last night I hit 1000 lines of code spread across practice projects and a little script that sorts my music files by genre. The surprising part wasn't the number itself, it was that I finally fixed a bug in that sorting script, it was off by one on the folder names. Took me 3 hours of adding print statements to find it, but when it worked I actually laughed out loud. I never thought I'd get past 200 lines without quitting, let alone have something that runs right. For anyone else starting out, how long did it take you to feel like you actually understood what you were typing instead of just copying? I'm still not there, but I'm closer than I expected.
