Ask HN: How to go from scripting to Programming/Architecture?

Hey everyone,

I am a self-taught programmer/scripter. I had a lot of exposure to different programming languages on a project basis. C#, JS, Python, VB and others. And I am fine with implementing the small things/scripts needed.

But I struggle when things get more complicated. I start to overthink things and then often drop the project or end up with something that is hard to maintain.

How do I structure "bigger" programs? Bigger here is meant in terms of maybe small games/applications. Not huge Cloud infrastructure...

Are there any good books/articles/tutorials that go specifically into these kinds of problems?

Thanks for any advice! Best regards!
