There is nothing wrong with that, but careers under capitalism are about _signaling value_. I hope you find a place (or have found a place) where you're appreciated. :)
As far as your career - salary and promotions and recognition - you can't just sit in a corner and be quiet. People have to recognize that you're good at what you do and it's hard for others to see when you only communicate in code check-ins.
You have to start attending meetings, speaking at meetings, and being useful beyond the code.
It's a weird contrast to normal life, considering a lot of us live in democracies, but once I understood this and started acting accordingly, it helped me handle my work life.
Some are all about the politics, others don't have the luxury of self delusion or actually value the sort of brutal honesty to say "I have looked at the new framework - while trendy it is buggy inefficient crap." The ones who lack the luxury tend to be smaller but small size is no guarantee that they'll just say no to the flavor aid.
Like anything there's a grey zone here. Understanding the political realities of a business is highly beneficial and will help you move forward with the company and let you know when to pick your battles. But I've watched people who do nothing but this lose the trust of those at their level. And that trust is crucial for agile development. I also personally feel like pushing back on the company when appropriate can indeed provide a lot of value to the organization. "Why are we doing this meeting?" "We need another week for testing" "I'd like to see the roadmap you are planning". Just don't push back all the time.
In all areas of life we judge those around us not by the true facts, but on our limited knowledge. Working to improve that knowledge can result in a change in judgment. It seems completely reasonable for there to be a person who does good work but who isn't know for doing such, and as such is viewed worse than they should be. By working to increase the knowledge of the work they do, their evaluation in the eyes of others will improve.
Of course, it isn't a straight forward or simple in practice. There are those who lie and misrepresent, and if you are to obvious about your intent you will be viewed as manipulative.
I don't see why this deserves either the label of BS or a ban from HN?
