Things you should learn form your mistake in website development



You know how important it is to learn from your mistakes, but the actual process is easier said than done. Despite our best efforts to learn, our brains fight us every step of the way. But with the proper know-how and the right approach, you can clear them with finesse.
Sometimes we twist reality so that it looks like we didn't make a mistake at all. Unfortunately, for you to learn from your mistake, you have to be able to recognize that you've made one. We don't like to feel bad, so we find ways to skirt around the truth. We tell ourselves, "I didn't mess up, that's just the way it's supposed to be." This is one of the biggest obstacles you can make for yourself and it's arguably the most important one to overcome.
This is known as choice-supportive bias, or a tendency to retroactively create positive attributes to a choice you've already made. A good example of this is "Buyer's Stockholm Syndrome," or post-purchase rationalization. Remember that thing you bought that cost a ton of money and you never really used? Deep down inside you probably knew it was a mistake when you were buying it, but you found a way to rationalize that it was something you really needed after you'd made the mistake of spending all that money.
