Ask HN: Do you have trouble recalling what you've contributed at your job? (ycombinator.com)
I find that I really struggle to remember what I’ve done specifically before the current task I’m working on. Then I go through my tickets and I start remembering, but off the top of my head it’s pretty blank.<p>Makes me nervous about getting fired and having nothing to talk about in interviews.

For me, this is the nature of startups- fast turnaround and turnover.
