Hit 1000 lines of code on my first real project and realized half of it was useless
Spent two weeks building a to-do app in Python. Got to line 1000 and felt proud. Then I looked back and saw I wrote 400 lines just handling bad inputs and edge cases. Why do beginners always overthink stuff like that? Anyone else end up deleting half their code when they review it?

400 lines just for error handling? I mean yeah you probably overdid it, but does it really matter if the thing works in the end.
