Code Reviews. Doing them as well as getting your code reviewed.

  This. For me, I loved working with a specific team because their code reviews were detailed and extensive - it really elevated my skill with the languages and technologies. It also made me realise apathy and yes-man-ism are far worse for careers and products than (constructive) criticism. I'll take a brutal code review over a lazy one any day. Having said that, code reviews are also an acid test if you can communicate well. They're more intense than most interactions, and much easier to screw up. Second opinions/having a mentor review the code review if you're completely new to it is recommended and might save one or more relationships.
