I feel like most of my work has been wasted throughout my career.

In my 10 years, I can look back and I think maybe 3 years of my work still exists today. A couple companies are not defunct. A couple projects were literally cut from under me.

Is this normal? Do most software engineers end up having a ton of their work wasted?

Yeah I'd feel like my work is more important if I worked on Postgres or an Apache project. Basically anything open source. The problem is getting paid.
