That week in March when my Python script finally ran without errors

I spent three days straight trying to get this web scraper to work, and every time it crashed on line 47. I was about to give up, but then I found a free online course from a guy named Kevin in Toronto that explained loops in a way that finally clicked. I rewrote the whole thing, ran it, and it just worked, pulling data from 100 pages like it was nothing. Has anyone else had a moment where one small tutorial made a huge block of code finally make sense?

That feeling when a single YouTube video fixes your entire weekend of broken code.

Was it one of those Kevin Powell CSS videos? That guy saved my front end project last month. I had this layout that would not line up right on mobile no matter what I tried, and his flexbox explanation made it seem so simple. Felt like a lightbulb went off, and I fixed it in like ten minutes after being stuck for two days.
