I've been at it for a bit over 20 years and I haven't figured out how to get good at it. I do OK, though, because I learned it's often more important to ship than perfect[0], and rewriting isn't so bad because the second time is usually better than the first.

I guess to me, the discovery process (in building something new) is so much fun than say, playing video games.
