You sound like your trying to reassure yourself of something.

I sure hope my boss doesn't think he built my work! He'd probably get fired pretty quickly during on call!

Your boss is a human.

This is a computer program running on your PC.

I hope you can see the difference.

Most managers do though?

    I've worked with a good few types of managers of the years, none would take ownership of my work. The end result? Sure, for shareholders/this managers that is fine.

    But that's not the same as me being needed to be on a call with integration teams and having to run the call. It's just a layer of abstraction for management. I own the creation side of the product.

    Who created it is still me.
