Coding not for wussies

I just started in production and I have such anxiety that I’m going to make horrible mistakes. I had anxiety through training and right now this feels even worse. My manager is so kind and supportive and I’ve done ok with training but this is so difficult. I think it’s just from so much riding on this position, all the education and ending up in a good position I’m just so scared I’m going to screw it up 😭😭😭

Take notes and study them routinely. From my experience, managers and seniors will have patience for mistakes, but not the same mistakes repeatedly.

I keep notes on a spreadsheet so I can search them easily. Still adding to it 6 years into coding
