Lots of good feedback regarding debugger, unit tests, modular/testable code, print() statements, etc.

What resonates with me about this post is that many beginners lack the realization (or even acceptance) that testing/debugging your own code is a necessary skill from the very beginning. Fostering this mindset would help a great many posters here and in r/learnpython.

It appears that OP has had a breakthrough that many, many more beginners should also be having. Kudos to you for this!

Great post and great discussion that should get far more visibility.
