Hit 500 loaves from my home starter and it still feels like day one

I started tracking my bakes back in March 2023 just out of curiosity. Hit loaf number 500 last Tuesday. Thought I'd have it all figured out by now but I still get flat ones and burnt bottoms. The starter is 2 years old and still acts moody sometimes. Anyone else keep a count and find it doesn't actually mean you're good?

Loaf 347 here and I still managed to set off the smoke detector last week, so you're way ahead of me (or at least less on fire).

At least yours was intentional baking smell, not a real fire.
