At my first company, in order to commit anything we had to get someone else on the team to sit down with us and we'd have to go over the diffs with them and walk them through the changes and why. Incredibly annoying, but a great way to learn. I still rewrite "if (!condition)" to "if (positive_condition)" to this day based one guy's feedback that negative logic is hard to read and reason about. It was also really humbling to not remember why I did things, so I'd have to prepare for the code review so I'd have something besides "um, I don't remember" to say.

I have also realized that there are some categories of problems that I really don't know how to solve well. So if I find myself struggling, I try to ask someone for ideas.
