In software development, I think this is especially prevalent because most often you are working on things that you have never done before. It's also not like school or taking a test where things have a defined right answer. When there are so many options and technologies out there, figuring out the best way to do something is almost impossible.

For me it was learning to accept that some of my decisions will be sub-optimal, and that's okay. Coding experience doesn't give you the right answer, it just gives you a less bad answer quicker.
