Yeah, it’s a never-ending curve.

I built an 8-bit computer on breadboards once, then went down the rabbit hole of flight training for a PPL. Every time I think I’m "done," the finish line moves a few miles further.

Guess we nerds are never happy.

One should be melting sand to get silicon, anything else it's too abstract to my taste.

Glad you’ve got all that time on your hands. I am still working on the fusion reactor portion of my supernova simulator, so that I can generate the silicon you so blithely refer to.

Given the premise, one could also say we nerds are forever happy.

Seriously I feel like it's self-sabotage sometimes at work. Just fixing the thing getting tests to pass isn't enough. Until I fully have a mental model of what is happening I can't move on.
