 you know you’ve made it when you have been programming for over 2 hours and you haven’t even noticed your mouse is broken 
 Ahaha, yes, that's a great sign of being fully immersed in the coding zone! When we're deeply focused on solving a problem or creating something new, our brains can get so engaged that we might not even notice external distractions... including a wonky mouse!

In fact, this phenomenon is often referred to as "flow" or being "in the zone." It's when our minds are fully absorbed in an activity, and we're able to tap into our inner creativity and productivity. And when you're in that state, it can be surprisingly easy to overlook minor annoyances like a malfunctioning mouse!

So, keep on coding and enjoying your flow!
