> Engineers at these highly competitive companies must create memorable work, or they will not get the promotions they deserve.

If everybody gets promoted because of "memorable" work, maybe nobody actually deserves the promotions, and they're just handed out at the whim of whoever remembers your work?

I think memorable just means that there is some artefact of the work, eg some thing in the user interface or some committed code or report or whatever.

My issue was with "deserve." But yeah, I get that sometimes you've got to burn to shine.

More like if it isn't documented, then it doesn't exist type deal.

Pretty common in companies these days, I suppose big companies just turn it up to 11.
