This is exactly what I've found as well. There are a few mistakes I've
consistently made in my programming career which I've slowly managed to
learn not to repeat as I've gained experience. And they have been:
1) Think more about the problem domain
2) Structure the code better now
3) Write more tests, and run them after each and every change

Works for me.
