It really depends where you work, you role and what the incentives are. You are young and working in a small startup with revenue share? Yeah, go wild and try to leave your mark! Just avoid getting burned out! Boring corporate job and have family to feed? Don't rock the boat. Though generally, don't. Best case you will make other people richer. Worst case is it backfires and you get more work assigned. If you want to advance your career, work on your social skills. If people like you they will automatically rate your job performance highly. Conversely your programming skills are pretty worthless if nobody wants to work with you. Might be cynical but that is how it works.
