Also see: do three people’s jobs alone but struggle to do just their own…
I got fired from a programming job because I wrote code for maybe 30 minutes a day, but spent all my other time going from desk to desk helping other devs find problems and get unstuck. It was maybe the most productive I've ever been on a job.
That day, I learned a valuable lesson: do an hour of work a day (or week), then sit at your desk pretending to work while parceling out the stuff you did. Never help anyone. My career has been much more successful since.
The truth of this is incredibly depressing. There are some people who's best skill is elevating others but that's a thing which is impossible to quantify.
