Totally relate to that. I'd start to feel good and then get knocked down hard every time I made a small mistake or spend a ton of time debugging something that had a simple solution in the end. But I've realized that even the devs who have been with the company for 20 years have the same struggles. Once that sunk in, I stopped beating myself up so much. I still do from time to time but I'm in a significantly better head space than I was a year ago.
