That you have no idea how much revenue is attributable to you as an individual doesn't mean revenue in general can't be measured and attributed.
Hypothetical example. Your employer has 1 billion users. You create compression that cuts down storage costs by 4%. Run the math and you see how much you saved.
If you saved $0.01 per user, you saved $10m. If the average salary is 100K and you saved $10m, you performed at 100x.
I agree the potential for "X" performance is hard to spot or measure when one isn't in proximity to big problems.

You measure "X" with data.
Like revenue generated, or cost saved, or lines of code saved, or time needed to deliver work, based on current or previous work.
Is this bullshit for you?

the HN community seems to shine at not making you feel embarrassed about what you've made.
Not in my experience. Several Show HN type of things I posted were highly criticized with harsh words. I'm not posting anything on HN ever again.

How much impact have actual dreams had in your work? Have you ever gotten ideas or answers in dreams?

One of the least corrupt countries was populated by prisoners: Australia.
How did Australia do it? Starting from a clean version 1?
