Yesterday, I hit a really important and extremely difficult-to-reach milestone for the major project I’ve been working on since July 2024. It’s taken me around 1,000 hours of actual labor time to hit this waypoint. This is the project I am doing completely by myself that normally a team of 8-10 people would be undertaking.

And no one said congratulations or thank you or anything. No one acknowledged it all. And that kind of sucks, since what I am doing will directly lead to $2 million+ in revenue.

At least they compensate me insanely well as management realizes they’d have to hire 4-6 people to replace me. I will have to let that fat paycheck be my consolation.
