How designing a CPU made me code better

# Why I even started I always looked at my computer in awe. "How does a clunk of metal do such beautiful things?" I ask myself. I always thought of them as a black box of magic, you just input data and it comes out however you want it. Until one day, I decided to truly learn how it works. The story I started about a year ago, with the aim of understanding how computers work at the lowest level. I started by following a simple YouTube tutorial. I just copy pasted what the creator did and it worked. At some point though, it stopped working. I panicked, I had no AI to help me because it's too dumb to work with extremely low level stuff, and I could not debug it because I copied all of it with no real knowledge. That was when I decided to give up, I did not wanna deal with debugging stuff that I did not understand. Until about 2 months ago, I decided to stray back into that field. I dove into how a CPU handles data and instructions, and slowly, I understood how it all worked. No AI, no You
