I just realized I've written 1000 lines of code for my little text adventure game and it still barely works.
I mean, I started this Python project three weeks ago thinking it'd be simple, but hitting that line count and seeing how messy and broken it is makes me wonder if I'm doing this whole 'learning by doing' thing wrong.

Welcome to the secret club of coding, where the line count goes up but the game never works. That's just how you learn, by building a giant pile of broken stuff first. You're doing it exactly right, honestly.

I used to think clean code was the most important thing from day one. Then I wrote a 500 line mess for a calculator that crashed if you typed a letter. That broken project taught me more than any clean tutorial ever did.
