My first real program actually worked after three days of trying
Last week, I was sitting at my kitchen table in Phoenix trying to make a simple number guessing game in Python. I kept getting this one error where the loop wouldn't stop, and I was ready to quit. I watched a video from a guy named Corey Schafer, rewrote the whole thing from scratch, and just kept hitting run. On the third day, around 2 AM, I finally got it. The program asked for a guess, checked it, and told you if you were right. It was so basic, but seeing that terminal work perfectly made me feel like I'd climbed a mountain. Has anyone else had that moment where a tiny program finally runs without errors?

That feeling when the code finally runs is the absolute best. My first working script was a mess of print statements that somehow calculated a tip, and I stared at it like I'd discovered fire. Nothing beats that 2 AM victory high.

Did you remember to tip the computer?
