Not every story ends in success.
Some just fade.
This is for the quiet coders. The ones who stayed late refactoring code that no one credited. Who left thoughtful comments, fixed things silently, mentored without being asked. The ones who documented, supported, debugged, and were still overlooked when promotions came.
In a world that rewards visibility, trying quietly becomes its own kind of disappearance.
If you’ve ever felt like effort wasn’t enough.
If you’ve watched others rise while you remained still.
If you’ve wondered whether the system even sees you.
You are not alone. And you are not wrong for caring.
