Why does nobody talk about the 100th system install feeling different?

I just finished my 100th full system install in a new build over in the west side, and it hit me that I wasn't double-checking my wire runs anymore. Some guys say hitting a round number is just a number, but for me it felt like a switch flipped from following steps to just knowing the flow. Did you feel a change after a certain number of jobs, or is it all just in my head?

My 75th install was the one where I stopped bringing the manual to the job site. It's not in your head, that muscle memory just takes over after a certain point. Do you find yourself moving faster now or just more relaxed?

Totally get that! Hit 50 installs and suddenly my hands just knew where everything went without thinking.
