I wrote last year that I was experimenting with a technique called ‘Perceptual Exposure Playlists (PEP)’ — which builds on an effect called perceptual exposure, or the idea that repeated exposure to a large set of superficially similar samples would teach one’s brain to identify domain-specific ‘deep’ features that are necessary for expertise. So: if you want to get better at writing narrative, read lots of good narrative non-fiction; if you want to get good at designing software, read lots of well-designed code.
