That wasn't me, but that also used to be me. I learned to pick my battles, especially with complex code bases, and tried to keep scope creep in the name of improvement to like a dozen lines (provided it was fully tested).

I think it's definitely a thing most people grow out of when they gain experience.

My boss told me about how when he was new he rewrote a whole chunk of the front end. His boss gave him a talking to about how you can't just go and do that when you're working with a team.

At an old job I just opened a PR to apply a code formatter to an internal project I wasn't even a routine contributor to. PR was rejected and I learned a valuable lesson about talking and getting buy-in before making sweeping changes.
