I keep writing small programs and each time, I'm finding more efficient ways to write it or learning new things. As I develop new web apps, its like my mind has evolved to say, "I can do this more efficiently and with less code." Definitely have come along way from the first web app I wrote. Can't say it was not without a lot of writing echo 'test'; to see exactly where the error was, though of course, most frameworks tell you exactly where the error is now, but it helps with testing and debugging. I do a lot more brainstorming in the beginning, designing of the web app, and then actual coding. It's really just practice. Learning how to keep your code organized and understandable for yourself. Write as if someone is looking over your code and isn't as smart as you :P
