Just hit 500 lines of code without crashing anything

I've been learning Python for about 3 months now and today I finally wrote a script that ran without any errors. It's just a simple calculator thing that takes user input and does basic math, but I'm honestly surprised it worked on the first try. I had 500 lines of code and not a single syntax error or logic bug. I mean, I know that's super basic compared to what real devs do, but for me it felt like a big deal. Did anyone else have a moment where their code just worked and it felt unreal? How long did it take you to get comfortable writing longer scripts?

Hold your applause, the Python gods are just lulling you into a false sense of security.

My first 300-line Python script crashed so bad I literally had to rewrite the whole thing from scratch. I was convinced clean first runs were just a myth until last month when I wrote a file organizer that sorted 2000+ files without a single error. It felt like I finally understood what I was doing instead of just guessing. That moment really changed how I see my own coding progress, honestly.
