I've been fired once in 15+ years of writing software. Nobody has ever asked me why at any interview since then. Additionally, as someone who has been on the hiring side, unless you're getting let go from multiple positions in a short (fiveish years) time span, I don't care. Most people get fired at some point in their career. It can be for so many reasons that it doesn't mean anything unless it forms a pattern. The last thing I can say about it is make sure you have a very good explanation of what happened just in case someone does ask. Don't put all the blame on the employer/boss/team. Take some responsibility but make it clear that it was a one off situation that you have learned from and won't be repeating. The fact you understand why you were let go and what you learned from it so that I won't have to fire you for the same thing is a big plus when I'm considering if I want you on my team.
