How can I improve the quality of my code?


I've been working in cloud infrastructure for the past 4 years and am looking to make the shift into software development (backend).

Although I've written code before and consider myself a developer amongst infrastructure architects, I've never released production-ready software. All have either been POCs or extensions of existing libraries used by other teams. I want to make a career move into software development, with a plan to progress into leadership in that field, but I've become aware that my limited experience working in a team of experienced developers has hindered my ability to write well-architected code.

How can I develop this part of my programming skills if I'm not working with a team of developers in a professional setting? Any books/courses I can take? My target is to land a role as a software developer in the next 6 months (hopefully not too ambitious!)

it's tough to say without seeing your code, but I'd be happy to code review anything you like.

What sort of development do you want to do?
