My question is , do you have any tips on getting better at this ?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/kentcdodds/ama/issues/comments/164583136","html_url":"https://github.com/kentcdodds/ama/issues/57#issuecomment-164583136","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/kentcdodds/ama/issues/57","id":164583136,"user":{"login":"kentcdodds","id":1500684,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1500684?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/kentcdodds","html_url":"https://github.com/kentcdodds","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kentcdodds/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kentcdodds/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kentcdodds/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kentcdodds/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kentcdodds/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kentcdodds/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kentcdodds/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kentcdodds/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kentcdodds/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-12-14T22:41:35Z","updated_at":"2015-12-14T22:41:35Z","body":"Hmmm... I've been thinking about this question a lot today and I still can't think of a good answer for you. So I'll reach out to the interwebs to see what others can say...\r\n\r\nI can definitely tell you that it's extremely valuable to read other people's code. You'll learn a lot from them (and it's one of the things I cite for [how getting into open source has been awesome for me](https://medium.com/@kentcdodds/how-getting-into-open-source-has-been-awesome-for-me-8480cd756a80)).\r\n\r\nI'll reach out to twitter and see what other people think :-)"}}
