I am much better at writing less code, though. In other words, your thinking is organised. Organisation is a skill you learn through experience. No other way

I am much better at writing less code, though. In other words, your thinking is organised. Organisation is a skill you learn through experience. No other way. You can attempt to teach a newcomer about the virtues of refactoring (basically tidying up the kitchen after you've baked your masterpiece) but I can assure you, the mind at early stages of doing new things is less interested in tidying up the process than it is about seeing the exciting outcome. That's by nature.
