My first three weeks as a developer

First week: 
Full with excitement, I set up my developer environment and talked to everyone. The friendliness and help from fellow colleagues were very welcoming. The microservice and massive system were overwhelming.
Second week:
Managed to do some small tasks and fixed some issues. But nothing rocket science. Had problem with deployment and working with command line. Setting up SSH/GPG keys and running a repo locally were also challenging. Overall, I ran against problems everywhere and had to ask for help regularly. Felt very incompetent
Third week:
The sense of incompetence continued. After my initial excitement subdued, I start to see some negative sides of working as a completely newbie developer. Even the way I approach problems is wrong. Not everything can be solved by googling and I have to learn debugging properly. Most issues are too difficult for me to solve. The language barrier makes me feel a bit left out and isolated at times, even though everyone tries their best to include me and speak in English when I'm around.
