Your original example shows you doing extra hours and long days to achieve this: if this was your point, the example is terrible.

I do agree with high-impact work just being there, but finding the time to do it other than "on your own time" is where the tension is between management and engineers who have a different belief of what the highest priority is.

Yeah, I addressed this in another comment here. I attempted in the last section to separate the ideas of "I heroically dived in" and "I took an opportunity in front of me" -- you shouldn't go looking for heroics. This didn't quite get across, and I totally understand why. Ah well.
