Thank you for this interesting article! ❤

This week at my job I made a similar mistake, I submitted an unfinished pull request and I felt so incompetent! 😓

I think it's important to persevere though. To me it works like this: when you're trying something new, you do it once and maybe you get 50% of the things correct. The next time, you get 60% of them correct. The next time again, you get 80% correct, and so on.

You're right about having a check-list, but there are circumstances in which you just don't have the time to look at it, so repetition is crucial.

Absolutely! It’s all about growth. It’s ok to make mistakes, and sometimes they’re embarrassing! The important part is to learn from them so that we get better.
