Bad advice. If you're thinking this way and you don't think people will listen is it really better to just shut up? How about starting small and implementing fixes or starting with small refactors in the direction of a better code base? I have absolute autonomy at my current employer so it's a different world, I mostly ask for forgiveness rather than permission, but to just shut up? Weak.

So exactly how do you just implement small fixes and get them through your hopefully peer reviewed pull requests? What if you cause a regression?

Usually the push back from making changes is larger structural changes you need to get buy in for - not minor bug fixes.

Does it take away from your assigned work?

I’m putting myself in the position of a journeyman “pull tickers from Jira board mid level developer”. Not my real position over the last decade of having a more strategic position. But I still know which way the wind is blowing and know when to shut up.
