Reading code is the best way to get better at writing code

It took me a long time to learn this, and maybe it's not the best advice when you're still beginning your coding journey. But at some point, reading other people's code is an extremely efficient growth method.

You can only write so much code per day, so you don't see patterns play out nearly as quickly in your own world.

Reading code is a separate skill.

You'll get better at reading and understanding your own code, too.

You'll get better at doing code reviews.

You'll see more patterns, faster.
