At one previous place, some of the devs seemed to think so - they continually rewrote an internal tool I used that broke all my integrations every time but provided no additional features that I could ever find. Often they took things out, but they were quite proud of how many lines of code they changed.
There is, but for a new starter they will need pointers and recommendations. It is unlikely they can dive into any ticket and make a
bunch of changes. They need the team’s help to succeed.

I've become a skeptic of this attitude.
