Don't give up!

People who have done this longer than you still make mistakes!

You will never know all there is to know about programming, it's impossible.

Don't compare yourself to others..

If it takes you a little be longer than someone to figure something out, it doesn't mean you're a bad programmer, try to stay confident.

If you seem to pick things up quickly, it doesn't mean you're a superstar programmer and you need to stay humble.

Impostor's syndrome sucks, almost everyone deals with it, you're not alone.

Take care of yourself, make sure that development does not deter you from the things you enjoyed doing before you got into programming.
