Hot take: That moment when your first signature folds just right feels like a victory, but old hands say it's nothing special. Thoughts?

My first thousand attempts in the garage ended up crooked or torn. That one perfect fold, where both edges met exactly? Felt like I finally cracked a secret code. The old guys are right that it becomes automatic muscle memory after a while, but they forget how hard it was at the start. Why do you think people get so hooked on that initial win?

Totally get that "cracked a secret code" feeling. It's like the first time you balance on a bike without training wheels, or when a recipe actually works. Our brains are wired for those little "aha!" wins after a bunch of fails. The old hands forget the thrill because their skill is now subconscious (like driving a familiar road). But that first clear success is the hook, it proves progress is possible and makes you want to chase the next one.
