Hit my 100th commit on GitHub this morning and it felt weird

I started learning Python back in February just messing around with loops and if statements. Today I pushed my 100th commit to a little project that tracks my water bill usage over time. It's nothing fancy, just a script that spits out a graph, but hitting that number surprised me because I almost quit in week two when I couldn't get a simple calculator to work. Has anyone else hit a random milestone that caught them off guard like that?

Not to be that person but is 100 commits really a milestone? I feel like every time I accidentally fix a typo in my readme file it counts as another commit.

Oh man, totally agree with this! 100 commits is awesome, I just hit 50 on a dumb script that sorts my old receipts and I still can't believe I stuck with it that long. @emerychen is right, those tiny wins add up and they keep you going when you feel stuck.

Yeah but it's still progress even if it's just fixing typos, every commit is a step forward no matter how small. Isn't the point that you kept going instead of stopping?
