Try to value the results of your work, not the work itself. 1. If you fixed a bug, what problem did it solve? Was it costing the company money or time? Your customers? Be a partner to the business, not a code-monkey. 2. Fixing a line of code has no value (gasp!) in a vacuum. What happens if that microservice uptime alert doesn't go out? How did your work prevent THAT from happening? 3. You delivered exactly what you asked for. Full stop. You executed (well, presumably) and worked with the business to build to address an opportunity. Not all opportunities pan out but all opportunities go to waste if not acted upon.
