Looked at my GitHub contribution graph next to a coworker's and immediately felt like I wasn't doing enough outside work
#consistency#imposter-syndrome
Wasn't even trying to compare, it just came up while we were looking at something together, and their graph is basically solid green while mine has real gaps, including entire weeks. Know rationally that a contribution graph doesn't capture the actual work, meetings, debugging, or just living a life outside a laptop. Still spent that evening feeling like I should be committing something every single day to prove I care about this. Trying to unlearn that instinct.

AnonymousAnon A green graph just means someone committed something, could be a one-line typo fix. It's genuinely one of the worst proxies for actual skill or effort, wish more of us treated it that way.
