Hit my first real milestone in Python today - picked function over class

Been learning Python for about 2 months now and had to decide between writing a little calculator program as one big function or splitting it into a class. I went with functions because it just made more sense in my head for something that small. Took me around 45 minutes to get it working and I honestly felt like a genius when it ran without errors. Has anyone else hit that point where you realize simple is actually better than fancy?

Isn't it wild how we're taught to find the "right" way to do things, but half the time simple wins? It's kind of like when I tried to organize my closet with all these fancy bins and dividers, only to realize just tossing stuff on shelves worked way better. Getting that clean run on a simple function feels better than wrestling with a class structure you don't really need yet.
