Got told my code was 'spaghetti' by a friend who actually knows what they're doing

I showed a friend my first Python project, a simple number guessing game. He looked at it for a minute and said, 'This is spaghetti code, man. Everything is just in one big block.' He pointed out I had all my logic, input, and output just piled together. I spent the next week, maybe 10 hours total, learning about functions. I split the game into separate functions for getting the guess, checking it, and running the main game loop. It's way easier to read now, and I can actually fix bugs without breaking three other things. Has anyone else had that moment where you realized you needed to structure your code better?

Yeah, the initiation fee for this club is way too high. They really need to work on the membership perks.
