I love this concept, and think the premise is absolutely true.<p>As others have pointed out, practicing and just churning out quantity often develops habits and bad practices.<p>One way of combatting that seems to be switching up your routine and deliberately avoiding these habits. This article explains a little more on that: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.iflscience.com&#x2F;brain&#x2F;researchers-uncover-method-learn-new-skills-twice-fast" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.iflscience.com&#x2F;brain&#x2F;researchers-uncover-method-l...</a><p>But I think it&#x27;s apparent all over. People who are able to produce a large quantity of new ideas&#x2F;methods&#x2F;etc. almost automatically are of higher quality.<p>Take the Beatles for example. The produced a huge amount of music in their relatively short recording history.<p>But they didn&#x27;t just follow the same patterns, they experimented and look where they got. Writers can be the same, and athletes, and why not developers too?
