For me the biggest improvement has been thoughtful naming. It’s so important to take time to consider what you are communicating to your coworkers and your future self when you name a class, method, or variable. It makes all the difference.
If I’m in a rush or just trying to tesr something I might use the first thing that pops into my head, then refactor later. But my code improves when I think this through. I get it wrong more often than not.
