I 1000% agree. Though, a favorite early programming memory of mine was when static methods finally clicked and I went back and looked at all that boilerplate that meant nothing to me and it all became crystal clear what it meant and why it had to be like that.

This reminds me of when I finally understood why returning 0 from a function named main made sense.

And why array indices start at 0 instead of 1, in many, though not all, programming languages.
