I've only been a full time developer for a little while now, but I've absolutely gotten some good lessons out of these mistakes. I'll tell you what, I always make sure to keep the updated_at column unchanged when I'm doing a manual update query. I also always double check and make sure I run DB changes before merging code, and I do a double check on all my code changes in a PR before I merge it in case I left in something behind. All of these are rooted in screw ups on my end that my company was very understanding of and made me grow as an engineer. Would it have been better to never have made these mistakes at all? Yes, but that's probably unrealistic. I've seen the hires after me make mistakes and I made sure to let them know of my first prod bug too, the way my boss did for me.
