I have 10 years of experience. I can say with authority that I know very little. The only thing I learned is to recognise faster when my code sucks (I still struggle to write a good code)

I identify with this, a bit. I’m getting more serious about writing testing, and it seems to give me some confidence.

I recommend a few books. Growing Object Oriented software guided by tests. It lays out a clear plan on starting and how one can approach building tests.

Next would be dependency injection: principles and practices.

Maybe try the GOOS book first and see if it resonates with you.
