Practicing abstract thinking and reasoning skills

I struggled with walking interviewers through my thought process, but learned to focus on understanding code syntax over writing it

What I wish I knew
"To practice abstract thinking, I should have started earlier, with simpler problems and exercises"
If I could tell you one thing
"Practice breaking down complex problems into conceptual pieces and identify recurring patterns to improve abstract thinking"
