How do we build work that actually outlasts us?

You say you want to build something that lasts. Good. But notice how often "legacy" gets used as decoration — a noble word you reach for instead of doing the harder thing today, which is training the person next to you or giving away credit you could have kept. Legacy is not a mood. It is a record. It is who on your team can now do the job you used to do alone. It is what your group knows that no longer lives only in your head. Everything else is a story you tell yourselves to feel important. So the real question is not "will we be remembered." You will not control that, and chasing it wastes the hours you actually have power over. The question is: who can do this work without you tomorrow, and what did you do today to make that true?
