It has been 3 to 4 days since I started posting on LinkedIn, and I am realizing something very late: I have lost track of a lot of the work I did at my previous companies. Around 6 years of work.

There were UI features that I solely built. Features I was really proud of because I worked hard on them. But once you leave a company, those contributions stay private. Now I don’t have any proof.
