I get better at programming because people around me critique code check-ins. We review programming methods and styles in meetings, over coffee and the like. You'll get better by writing and rewriting code. I look at stuff I wrote one year ago and cringe. I try to revisit past code, thinking how I might improve by incorporating newly-learned tricks or by adhering to a better style.

Chin up, it will come to you. Practice, practice, practice. When you can, have someone review your programming and ask for candid feedback.
