Why does nobody talk about hitting 500 attics in a career?

I just crossed 500 attics crawled into since I started installing cable in 2018. That number surprised me because I never kept count until my van logged it by accident last month. Half of those attics were in houses built before 1970 around St. Louis where the insulation is that old fluffy stuff that gets everywhere. The other half were new builds with those stupid truss systems that leave zero room to move. I feel like hitting a milestone like that matters because it shows how much wear and tear we put up with that customers never see. But here's the debate - does a big number like 500 attics mean you are experienced or just reckless with your body? Some guys brag about speed and volume while others say taking it slow saves your knees and back in the long run. Which side do you lean on when you hit a surprising milestone like this one?

Slow is smooth, smooth stays working past 40.

Nah, fast and sloppy has worked fine for me for decades.
