When I was in college I failed six programming interviews! I failed interviews at Google, Quora, Dropbox, Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Sift Science. I didn't get an internship that year, and spent the summer working on a project with my brother.
Then I went to grad school and started working at Twitter. They liked me so much they gave me a return offer. And then another return offer. In the end I worked there for nine months and had a super fun time. Plus they told me I was a really good intern.
It's nice to look back a couple years and reflect on how much you've improved. For some reason I thought I was going to be a bad programmer forever, but I guess not.
