Get Your Work Recognized: Write a Brag Document

Julia Evans on keeping a running document of what you have done at work, including the less visible work such as mentoring, migrations and helping with design docs, so that you and your manager can actually remember it at review time. Includes a template to copy. Start one in your first internship or job; it also makes updating a resume or LinkedIn profile much easier later.
