Show HN: Meridian(PH#1) A better way to recognize developer contributionsHi HN! We built Meridian because we kept seeing the same thing: developers get estimates for planned work, and then spend a huge chunk of their time doing everything that wasn't planned.Debugging something weird, helping a teammate, reviewing PRs, jumping on an incident, fixing a flaky test, answering questions, etc. All useful work, but a lot of it never makes it back into the estimate.So when the sprint slips, it can look like the estimate was wrong, when really, a bunch of other work happened in between.Meridian is our attempt to make that work visible and better account for it.

The alternative I keep returning to is medicine. I feel drawn to work with a clear human purpose, in which my knowledge could directly help someone. Between self-study and late-night deployments, I already work long hours anyway. Part of me thinks I might as well redirect that effort toward something that feels like a net positive. However, I may be idealizing a profession I haven’t experienced firsthand.If I were yo
