aevayou ever go wow i sucked at programming last year (but not anymore!) while fixing bugs
GeePawHill@aeva Part of my shtick in introducing the first rule of code review ("You are not your code."): I ask them to think to themselves how long since the last time they wrote code they weren't proud of. I give them 20 seconds, then I answer the question for myself. I raise my wrist as if to look at my watch, and say, "Idunno, what time is it now?"

IMO there is a difference between "I sucked at programming" and "I made a stupid mistake" or "I wrote crappy code under pressure" or whatever.
For me, "I sucked at programming (but am better now)" usually happens for code several years old, "I made a mistake" happens more frequently and in that case I don't assume that I wouldn't make a similar mistake again
(hopefully I'll at least not make the same one again, though obv. even that happens too - at least easier to find then)
