Just hit 100 lines of code in my first project and it felt huge

I've been working on a simple number guessing game in Python for about two weeks. I finally got the whole thing running without errors, and when I checked, it was exactly 100 lines. It's a tiny thing, but seeing that round number made it feel real, like I actually built something. Before this, I'd only ever written a few separate lines from tutorials. Has anyone else had a small win like that when they were starting out?

That first real project is such a good feeling, like you finally put all the pieces together yourself. I remember my first complete script was a text based adventure and I must have run it fifty times just to watch it work. What part of the code gave you the most trouble to get right?

I used to measure progress by big features, but now I see those small, clean milestones are what build real skill.
