Hit 1100 finished trim boards last month and it finally clicked

I've been doing crown molding for about 4 years now, mostly in new builds around Nashville. Never really tracked how many pieces I actually cut and installed. Last month I was bored and counted up my old job logs and realized I passed 1100 boards. That number surprised me because I always felt like I was still figuring things out, like a beginner. The math just showed I've done this way more than I thought, and it made me trust my cuts more without second guessing every angle. Has anyone else hit a number that made them stop and realize they actually knew what they were doing?

1100 boards is a lot but it's just trim work, not brain surgery.

I'd probably mess up the trim and need brain surgery to fix it.
