You ever try a quick pass with a lower torque first to seat the gasket?

Tried the copy paste thing for a while and it never stuck. What actually helped was taking working code and breaking it on purpose, same as that guy told you. I would delete a random line or swap two things around, run it, and read the error before fixing it. After a couple weeks I could look at a traceback and know right where to go instead of just staring at it. Retyping 30 lines by hand is just typing practice, not coding practice. Poking at it and breaking stuff teaches you way more.

23 is a lot but I get it, I had 17 at one point and my husband started calling the couch "the pillow pit." What worked for me was pulling them all into one pile and touching each one, and if I couldn't remember where I even bought it or it didn't actually get used in the last month, it went. I kept maybe 5, the ones that actually matched and were comfy to lean on, not just look cute. The rest went to a donation bin or got stuffed in a closet for a week to see if I missed them, and I never did. So my advice is set a number first, like 5, and then pick your favorites to fit it instead of deciding what to toss.
