Being supervised
At work this morning I left some notes on a Trello card about where I am up to with a current effort on a new feature; it had been some days without my doing more on it than quietly beavering away. I also try to maintain a steady stream of small work products that are more immediately tangible such as opening a relatively trivial GitHub PR before returning home. Back when I wasn't supervised but had an intellectually challenging problem to solve then it might be quite some days before I felt as if I were verifiably making progress but I learned to trust the process and know that the initial stage in which I'd cogitate was both necessary and valuable. Now I am back in a more junior role I find myself again actively providing a steady stream of observable evidence that I am indeed continuing to effect received instruction.
