Hitting 10,000 lines of debugged code yesterday felt way more real than any tutorial

I spent 3 months grinding through Python projects and finally hit 10,000 lines without a major error, which made me realize all those "learn in a week" courses are just teaching you how to copy paste, not actually fix problems - has anyone else felt the jump after a real milestone like that?

Hit 5k in one go last month and it completely changed how I see my own code lol. Tutorials just don't teach you that kind of real debugging pain.

gotta push back on that a bit, honestly tutorials are way better for teaching you how to structure clean code from the start instead of just learning by burning stuff down. hitting 5k lines in one go sounds like a nightmare to debug later, not a badge of honor. learning from small, working examples teaches you how to avoid those messes before they happen.
