Three months of Python and my old scripts look like a different language

I started learning Python back in March for a data entry job in Columbus. My first script was 90 lines of copy-paste if statements just to rename files. Last week I rewrote that same task in 12 lines using pathlib and a for loop. The difference is wild, same problem, same computer, but my brain just works different now. I think the turning point was when I stopped trying to memorize syntax and started actually tracing what each line does. It took about 12 weeks of doing a tiny project every night, even if it was just 20 minutes. Has anyone else gone back to their early code and felt embarrassed but also kind of proud at the same time?
