Your handle is "supportengineer". Presumably you outrank OP if you count assists, or a share of others' successes.
Do the developers of the libraries he used count this site as a personal accomplishment? Do the airplane mechanics? Do their support engineers?
We participate in a circulatory economy, but we haven't yet adopted a perspective of circulatory attribution. Maybe we never will. Maybe we never should.
Maybe you should recognize your piecemeal contributions as a sort of ikigai, or maybe you should see this as a wakeup call to carpe diem.

Thanks for the opportunity to pontificate!
