As a junior developer, I used to feel paralyzed by fear of not being good enough (kept being shy about my code because I felt it was trash).
Thing is, I was probably not good enough yet! But that's ok. Being ready to face the "no's" and constructive feedback made me grow, especially when I was able to find patterns on that feedback and, similarly to your case, I could build an improvement strategy for my case!
Overcoming the paralyzing fear of not being enough or not doing well is essential for personal growth. This feeling can affect anyone, regardless of their level of experience. What truly matters is how we choose to handle it in a way that promotes our growth.
This is such a great mindset to have as an engineer. Rejections are all around us, from code reviews to job applications to getting fired and laid off. But they also offer a powerful learning opportunity and a change to get back up and keep building what we want. Thanks for sharing. 🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing these thoughts!
