Just counted how many loaves of sourdough I've baked since I started.

I keep a little notebook by my oven, and when I flipped through it this morning, I saw I hit 500 exactly. It felt like a real shift from just following recipes to actually understanding the dough. How do you guys track your progress, or do you just go by feel?

That notebook is your baking biography.

You're right, carter.laura, it's basically a cookbook of your own fails and wins.

Yeah, that notebook turns into your own personal reference book after a while. You start seeing patterns in your own notes that a regular recipe would never show. It's how you build your own instincts instead of just following someone else's.
