Just found out my first little script has run over 100 times

I made a Python script last month to rename a bunch of my photos, and I checked the log file today. It showed it ran 103 times since I set it up on my old laptop. I had no idea I used it that much. Has anyone else been surprised by how often they use a tool they built?

My photo script only ran twice before I broke it. Henryc64's robot sounds way more reliable than my little helper.

That "had no idea I used it that much" feeling is the best. It's like your past self built a little robot that's been quietly doing chores for a month without asking for a paycheck. You probably forgot it was even running, and now it's just part of your computer's background hum. The real test is when you go to a different machine and catch yourself missing your own dumb script.
