The only way to be a good programmer is to work on lots of projects.

Not to disparage the value of experience, but I know a metric ton of programmers with years of experience and dozens of projects under their belt who write, day in and day out, shit code. I think there's more to being good than just cranking it out.

I don't disagree with you, but I also think cranking it out is a very, very fundamental part of the process.

You can't be a great coder without writing anything.
