The importance of visibility to individuals, teams, and companies

I’m often asked if I have any advice for other software engineers, and the absolute number one piece of guidance I give is “make sure your work is visible”.
"See me, feel me, touch me, heal me"

A farmer had 3 chicken, that put the eggs every day in the very same basket alltogether. And everyday was the same, there were only 2 eggs. So he decided to pay attention. He decided to watch for some days and he saw always the same pattern, two chicken came out clucking out loud and the third one always left silently and run to hide somewhere in the backyard. The farmer was fully convinced. And got the third chicken and made a mulligan/hotpot with it. To his surprise (and regret) the next days the basket was totally empty. Moral: - Not everyone that clucks out loud has done anything useful - Make sure your performance is noticed, running silently to hide in the backyard can be really dangerous.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
