My answer to Beginner JavaScript: more code or quality code? on Quora
Write more code. The more code you have written, the better you’ll be able to understand why certain techniques for creating higher quality code are worthwhile later on.
If you’ve never dealt with a horrible tangle of spaghetti code of your own making you’ll never be able to truly appreciate good code when you finally write it!
