Frankly that's a potentially dangerous state of mind. Impulse you rather accomplish something little and get the glory or be on the team that got man on the moon? In my opinion, it's amazing what you can accomplish when you don't care who gets the credit. You're stronger with others than on your own. |

Not sure I understand.
Anyways, I've been around engineering teams for a while now and here's what I mean: there's always some principal engineer or fellow (in the terms of a title) that is greatly esteemed and admired because of decades of progressively larger and larger feature creation and system architecture/leadership.
If all I ever do is fix bugs -- forever in my career -- it means I'm not going to build anything and I don't get to be on the team that gets the people to the stars because that team is reserved for aforementioned team of people who have built a lot.
I probably shouldn't be a programmer anymore since all I'm good for is fixing bugs.
