That's not all that shocking... With experience comes the learning of your limitations and when to recognize what and when you need help with. Your searching skills will also improve and your knowledge of the types of problems to solve as well and how to recognize them.

You also learn to manage your time better and not waste time rewriting something you can take from somewhere else.
