I have learned a similar lesson over the past few months - I was thrust into a leadership position by part circumstance, and when it came to working with junior developers, it clicked that I needed to be building them up & increase their confidence in the correct approaches to engineering, not be hyper critical. I am indeed hypercritical of my own work, always striving for self-improvement, but I recognize that different people are at different stages of their lives, and it does no good to expect that everyone is the same as me. There is a lack of empathy in the industry at large for people attempting to enter as a software engineer, and on a human level, it is an awful thing - many of them are people like us trying to make their way in the world and live a better life. It is a forgotten point, and I wish more would contribute towards the future.
