* Not communicating enough with my team lead. This impacted my ratings. There will be places where you will be stuck early in your career. It's better to openly ask for help in such cases. This works even well if you are a star performer. Pratall effect is real.

* Applied wrong Cron job string for a mailer job to renew an IT asset. Instead of mailing at a specific time, mails went every second. A Senior exec(boss's boss) called and asked me to take it down. I was mortified for a moment since this was an unapproved use of company's resources. Thankfully nothing bad happened.
