I find that for the introspective sort, we are often the harshest critics of our own work, whether it be writing, programming, photography, art, or whatever. Lots of "shoulda, coulda, woulda" often involved in the post-analysis. (I personally don't like the word "post-mortem", since it feels like someone or something had to die for the sake of our insight.)

But, if other people are still able to appreciate our imperfect selves doing imperfect work, perhaps it's a sign to be a bit kinder to ourselves, while still noting what we can improve on in future efforts.

Or at least, that's my $0.02.
