I have internalized capitalism and lack of self-worth so well that, not only do I do this, but I seem to refuse to acknowledge the network effects of my work.

Consider that the entire accessibility process and division at work exists cause of me and the work my steering committee has done over the last 8 years. Literally none of this would exist otherwise.
