To elaborate on this, you should start with an idea of what you want to build and find the most bare bones implementation you can find. For example, for https://gif.com.ai I knew I wanted to build a MEAN stack app so I found a simple (a very very simple) MEAN stack project on GitHub with a few Express routes for view rendering. This became the baseline of the entire architecture. From there I followed pretty much the same paradigm I was presented with to build the rest of the app. You end up with multiple files, or large code structures after a lot of iteration. Removing is as important midway through as implementing new code. The process is organic. You just build it up, and work on it daily.
