The Day I Discovered enumerate()
It was a regular evening debug session. My code was working, but something about it just felt off. I was looping over a list—like always. for i in range(len(my_list)): value = my_list[i] # Do something with value and i Nothing wrong, right? Except... I was starting to hate reading my own code. It felt noisy. Clunky. Too much range(len(...)). Too much manual indexing.
