Finally hit 10k lines of code, why does it feel like nothing?

I've been grinding through this Python tutorial for 2 months and just crossed 10k lines of total code written, including all my practice scripts. But when I opened up my calculator app I built, it only does basic math and the UI looks like a 3rd grader made it. I thought hitting that number would mean something, but I still can't figure out why my loop breaks on the 50th run. It's weird because all the YouTube videos make it sound like 10k lines equals some skill level. Has anyone else hit a milestone and felt totally underwhelmed by their actual progress?

Honestly it's like learning to cook, you make a mess before you make a meal lol.
