Just hit my 50th burnt roux and I'm weirdly proud

I've been trying to make gumbo for 6 months and last night I burned my 50th roux. That's a lot of wasted butter and flour, but honestly I'm shocked I stuck with it that long. The first 10 were disasters, the next 20 were just sad, and now I can at least smell when it's about to go wrong. My kitchen still smells like smoke but my arm hurts less from stirring. Has anyone else counted their failures like this or am I just a glutton for punishment?
