Hit 500 sourdough starters and stopped counting

I keep a log of every starter I make for the bakery. Last Wednesday I was flipping through the notebook and saw I hit 500 back in March. Didn't even notice because I stopped paying attention around 300. Each one takes about 10 minutes to mix and feed over a week before it's ready for the oven. How do you guys track your starter batches or do you just eyeball it?

500 starters and you didn't even notice? That's like me with fence posts on a big job - I just grab a handful and hope I don't run out halfway through the day. Bet you've got a whole graveyard of dried-out jars in some cabinet too from all those failed experiments. I'd probably start charging admission for a tour of your starter collection at this point.

Man 500 starters is wild, I'd probably lose count after like 10 and just start naming them instead.
