> For me the question is different- you can ask "how to become better coder" for which the answer might be - to write more code.

The problem with this answer is that there is little to learn from a lot of code that is written in a corporate environment. You typically only learn from brutally hard bleeding-edge challenges that you set to yourself, which you will barely ever find at work.
