These, to me, seem like highly invalid reasons to do something and will definitely backfire. Ship incomplete features just so your manager sees you’re working?

These, to me, seem like highly invalid reasons to do something and will definitely backfire. Ship incomplete features just so your manager sees you’re working? Sounds like a toxic work environment to me. Fill up your GitHub profile with colors? Seems like a superficial display of smoke and mirrors for those who value such a thing, not for what’s actually beneath the surface of it. I have the “gift” of ADHD, and I’m quite content with learning something, solving a bug, finding something that can help my team, survive through meetings or just close up tickets every day, without the added stress or cognitive load that I have to ship something besides my usual tasks. Strive for progress. Learn by doing. But it’s also fine if you don’t on some days. Don’t burn out. Not worth it.
