I disagree. It speaks to a broader belief. Tie that in with the "I'm smarter and work harder" comment, and it paints a bit of a theme about the poster. Moving JIRA tickets, cleaning up boards and doing various other admin are powerful tools to team organization whatever the tool/process used. A smart person and hard-worker shouldn't have any problem picking that up and moving the team forward. Likewise a savvy "street smart" person that wants to go into the managerial track needs to understand how to convey to the right people that they moved the team forward or they need to get help from a Scrum Master / BA / PM that should be doing that instead. Maybe convincing their report that there is a gap to grow the team, and that their time could better be utilized. At first you do tech and coding. Then you get to a phase where coordination is key, that includes admin and processes. After that, only then do you get to the "leadership" or "strategy" and other nebulous parts where you have to drive things forward not by doing work yourself but by putting the right people on the right tasks and enabling them.
