A bit late to this thread but what helped me a lot was when I started doing TDD. By testing my code against tests before its fully done or even implemented in the main app codebase (so to speak), I could break down individual tasks in it more easily and see how its interior parts work. It seemed easier to separate it into SRP areas since they'd have to stick to the unit test for that responsibility. Do keep in mind you can take it too far and overengineer it in this way but it was a good kick in the butt to get me to think in a different way.
Where did you learn TDD. I mean I know the concept, but are there good courses for how to implement it into modern web stacks like React, Svelte etc
Saying I learned it is a stretch, we still dont use it at my workplace and I just read some random guides and tried it on my personal projects. I also wouldn't know about using it in frontend, I mostly just use it to make it easier to test my backend (c#) methods during development without having to struggle with setting up reproduction steps and go through the entire frontend every time.
