Hit 500 installs this morning... didn't see that coming

I was just finishing up a basic DSC panel in a basement today when my partner pointed out it was my 500th install. Been doing this for about 6 years part time and never kept count... thought I was maybe at 300. I remember my first job was a mess with wires everywhere and a false alarm on day one. Now I can wire a 4 zone in under 20 minutes without looking at the manual. Anybody else ever hit a weird milestone that caught you off guard?

500 installs is wild but the milestone that got me was when I realized I hadn't swapped a single wire nut for a wago connector in over a year. Once you switch to push ins the old twisting method just feels like extra work for no reason. Made me feel old and modern at the same time haha.
