understand what you were doing.

But, again, you'll get in trouble.
And you _must_ learn about these events. Take the feedback as true, even if
you don't agree with it. I had my falls, and I always took it as something I
need to improve, even if later I said to my psychologist that I thought it was
unfair and biased -- mostly 'cause I'm the quiet guy that always took the
blows and never complained about, and people taking the flak from me were more
vocal and friendlier to the higher-ups. But, again, I took it as true, and did
my best to work on those problems.

At some point, you'll describe some solution/decision about some piece of
code or some architectural design and people will seem annoyed/pissed about
it. When people care about a product/code, they do that.
<!-- more -->
Or maybe _you_ will get annoyed/pissed.
I think one of the nicest compliments I ever got was "You're annoying 'cause
you care" when we left a meeting in which we decided to cut corners and do
things halfway to beat some deadline -- or just 'cause people were not in the
mood to do things in a more complete way.
