Hit 50 different snack plate combinations last month and surprised myself

I kept a notebook tallying every unique snack plate I made for friends and family, and when I hit 50 I realized how much I had learned about balancing sweet, salty, and crunchy elements, so has anyone else tracked their plate builds long enough to notice a tipping point in their skills?

That 50 number is wild honestly. I bet around the 30 mark is when you just know what combo works without even thinking about it.

When you say you started noticing things click around 30, was that more about getting creative with what you had on hand, or did you actually start predicting flavors better? I'm curious if that tipping point was more about technique or just having tried so many combos already. Idk, maybe it's different for everyone but I feel like the real jump happens when you stop overthinking it.
