I found that reading the Qt docs was good for most of my needs to understand PyQt.
The only thing I found hard to understand was the"Model/view Table Models" and for that
I read the Mark Summerfield's book "Advanced Qt Programming".

You are describing all software every written!

Learning betters ways to solve problems is part of the journey we all go on.

I found one of the ideas from eXtreme Programming (Kent Beck et al) has guided my thinking.

"Write only the code you need for the requirements you have." 
In other words once you have a good enough solution stop coding.

Don't code for future guessed requirements, as that is almost always
wasted effort (lots of academic research shows this).

The second part is that when the requirements change refactor the code until you have
covered the new requirements, and only when the requirements change.

The biggest problems I have found are (1) Incomplete/Incorrect documentation  (2) Programmer wanna-bees prompting and propagating bad information  (3) Folks not fully understanding programming best practices
