The author has another blog post about learning to play the violin and how it taught him the importance of deliberate practice which I feel is probably what he is also trying to get across in this post. I am experiencing something similar as I continue to study the classical guitar. I agree that the importance of deliberate practice over just coding and coding really does matter - in my day job I will write many lines of code doing the same string processing etc. (I work in Data Science) but when I am trying to learn I really want to think if I am doing it in a Pythonic way, how I might make the code more reusable and so on.
