I showed one of my soon-to-be-former coworkers my various projects that I've done in the last 20 months. It wasn't depressing that I had to show him everything -- I'm OK with getting laid off -- but the amount of time it took was. Granted, I didn't need to show him every inch of code, or even go over things in more than the broadest terms. But twenty months of work only took me about 15 minutes to describe.
After all that time, a good brain-dump should've taken at least an hour. I really haven't acomplished that much after all, I guess.
