@keen bough I highly recommend a book called The Checklist Manifesto. In it, the author, Atul Gawande, talks about how to prevent minor mistakes by creating review checklists to follow.
In our work, we have a philosophy called Only new mistakes. The idea is that any one of our team members may make a mistake once. It's natural. The goal is to avoid making it a second time.
The way we do that is we use a lot of checklists. We have review checklists for when something is done. As soon as we complete a piece of work, someone walks through the checklist and makes sure everything listed has met all the quality requirements.
It takes a few minutes and 99% of the time, everything is fine. But that 1% when I've missed something, that checklist is gold.

This is also where having regular crit/feedback sessions can help with

Agreed with Jared up above where once a mistake is made, you're more aware of it next time, and that's how your experience builds, so don't be too hard on yourself for making mistakes! Based on your phrasing I'm assuming you think 2 years in you shouldn't be making mistakes, but even 5 years in I'm always learning and finding new things to watch out for and add to my mental checklist

I've been doing this for 40 years. Still making mistakes. I just try only to make the most interesting new ones.
