I am happy to stumble over this post JUST a day after I started thinking of ways to improve my whole "Programming Process".
My whole idea was revolving around the ability to dissect an application (that you need to write) into smaller parts (components) and give each part your 100%. Then at the end, you can glue all the parts together.
For each component, you need to make experiments, of what you need to do/know to make them bullet-proof! What I mean is, you need to make a component as good as it can get, by using the BEST practices. Each component should be base on a whole lot of science that you need to acquire.
For example, you can create a database in a very simple way, with no or few constraints. You can also build the same database with a lot of constraints, assuring integrity of data.
This is a tough one. We all need to work on it by ourselves, because, as you said, no one can afford to have a coach. But the result of doing this would be awesome!
I'm a small business programmer. I love solving tough problems with Python and PHP. If you like what you're seeing, you should probably follow me here on dev.to and then checkout my blog.

You're welcome, robencom.
It sounds a little like you're talking about the concept of 'bounded contexts' in domain driving design (DDD). Have you looked into that at all?
I will now. Thanks!
