Being fairly new to software as a job and not a hobby, I don't have a ton of experience when it comes to office politics. Does it necessarily follow that because employee A is busting ass, expectations get raised for employee B? Is the set standard really that fragile?
I'm asking because I tend to dive into work headfirst. I love doing this stuff and I can't believe I'm getting paid for it; but if this is a thing perhaps I should be a little quiet about that - I'm not interested in making enemies of people by being 'too peppy'.

Yeah sure - most metrics in software do not work as expected, so the only thing that we are left is perceived performance. And perceived performance is created only by comparison - You always subconsciously look for the baseline observing people in Your team, so if one ot them is concentrated only on work and is at least a little bit competent while doing it, it makes others look worse in comparison.
