Don't try

I have projects outside of work. Users know that I made them. That means I’m known in certain circles. But all in all, I’m just an ordinary person. Gray. Nothing special. If I die now, in 10–15 years people will remember me only on the anniversaries of my death. In 40–50 years, even those who ever knew me will be gone. I am not worthy of remembrance — just like 99.99% of all people who have ever lived. And that’s okay.
