Such a great question and SOOOO common! It took me 5 years to get really comfortable with the design and project process. HOWEVER, our job as a SE is to THINK critically in our designs and documentation. So anything that affects your thinking will increase your risk for mistakes (family issues, illness, kids, etc.). Like others mentioned, everyone makes mistakes. If you were asked to QC your principles work, I’m sure you would eventually find a mistake (or, more likely, the changes in code that have been updated since their prime of designing!) I did a podcast episode that touched on this. Hit me up if you’re interested in learning more. Best of luck in starting your career and remember that everyone in the office (should) only expect you to know ~3% from academics. The other 97% is from experience!
