I have a little over ten years experience, and when I read code that I wrote at 1-2 YoE it's shamefully bad, but after that it starts to get pretty good. I don't think anyone would notice a huge change between my code 5 years ago and today. I've moreso improved on soft skills.
Though it probably helped that I had two mentors at a job 2 years in who were ruthless about reviewing my code.
- ska 3y ago> I've moreso improved on soft skills. Which, among other things, are also vital. Oversimplified: 1-2 years of not knowing what you don't know. Then 3-5 learning how to write code, then 3-5 learning how to really write software. Most of that last learning curve happens outside the editor. That's a little to linear and non-overlapping, but the essence is true I suspect.
