I've been trying to get into coding on and off for the past few years, and something that I've noticed is that when I'm presented with a problem, I usually can come up with a solution, however it is almost never the most efficient way to do it. I understand that part of this comes with time, but for a lot of my classmates they intuitively make something similar to the canonical solution. For introductory classes this is fine, but I know if I try to pursue more advanced courses I'll probably start to run into issues when I get graded on optimization and run time.

Also when coding larger projects I've found that sometimes the way that ive chosen to implement things comes back to bite me when i try to expand or add functionalities to it (Im basically writing Yandre dev code).

What are some good resources to learn how to build a good sense of intuition? I always try to create/draw out my solutions in pseudocode before I implement them, but even while doing this I find it hard to catch myself making bad choices until I've already coded the majority of my solution.
