Totally fair to be skeptical; there's no way I can convince you that my coworkers would agree with what I've claimed here. I do still interact with many of the folks that inherited my code though, and on multiple occasions they've expressed how my services have been easier to work on than others.
Will also note I have no subordinates. In most cases I've handed these services off to teams with more seniority/higher rank than myself.
Re: documentation, I suspect the embedded C and adjacent systems you work on warrant docs more than the web app plumbing work that I do. I've done brief write-ups with some diagrams, but I wouldn't know how to document further without just restating what is already clear from the code.
