Ok, I'll guess I'll double-down since I am getting downvotes and it is still on topic.
I would be proud of someone said that about me. I have introduced new technologies (that work well) but I have also spent a significant amount of time training juniors, that I now know could handle the stack without me. Much because of their hard work of course, but a little bit because of me.
Maybe I was a one-trick-pony and this is all I knew. Or maybe I would continue improving the products by introducing new ways of working or implementing great stuff in the future.
Neither of this will be noticeable in a future without me.
But the worst kind of senior ought to be people that leave suddenly, leaving a chaos behind them.
It is like the "hero" who creates a chaotic product and puts a 100 hour week of bugfixing just before the release.
Compared to the person who just plans a product and executes according to schedule without leaving a mark.
