Hit 500 rolls developed at home, never thought I'd get here

Started keeping a log when I built my first darkroom setup back in 2021, just to track chemicals and stuff. Yesterday I counted and I'm at 500 rolls total, mostly 35mm but maybe 60 or so 120. That number blew my mind because I nearly quit after the first 20 when I ruined a whole batch of Tri-X with bad temperature control. But once I got a decent thermometer and a water bath going, it became routine. Now I've got a system where I can knock out 4 rolls in under an hour while watching the news. Has anyone else kept a running count of their home development? Curious what numbers other folks have hit over the years.

Wow, 500 rolls is wild! Have you ever gone back and counted how many rolls you kept versus how many you tossed or gave away? That number might tell a different story.
