My first Python script crashed my laptop for a solid minute

I was in a coffee shop trying to make a simple number guesser and accidentally wrote an infinite loop, lol. Has anyone else had a project just completely freeze up on them?

Been there. My first script maxed out the CPU fan... sounded like a jet engine. Good times.

See, I never really got the charm of that. When my code started making the computer sound like it was about to take off, I just felt like I'd messed up. It meant I wrote something really inefficient, maybe a loop that never ended right. I'd rather have a script that runs quiet and gets the job done without all the drama.

Honestly, what makes you call that "good times" instead of a mistake?
