Experience helps a great deal. One should not have to "rewrite" the program each time it doesnt work. Remember, preparation is everything. If you truly understand the problem and are familiar with programming concepts, you will be able to build a program that will do some, if not all of what you need. Granted, experience does play a part, but being a good programmer is, in my view, being able to understand concepts and use previous experience to write a good, solid, robust program.
