I'd argue that taste is a kind of skill (or more generally, knowledge). It can be developed. Doing things requires a multitude of skills. Depending on the task, some skills may be more impactful. There is also some co-development depending on the skill. Basically, to get better at something, usually you have to branch out and develop periphery skills and knowledge. For example, don't just focus on writing bug-free code fast, but also on software design, and design in general. And team management. And people skills. And read research papers and algorithms. And learn from past failures and case studies, etc.
