My comments are not about advancing anyone's career. When you are a junior member of a software development team your primary objective should be to help the team deliver the project. There's a reason you have 'jr' in your job title.
There are some interestingly ironic comments about how the team lead is labeled as 'entitled' and 'advancing my career' when the OP is essentially advocating those same concepts from a different perspective.
I get the sense from the tone of comments that there are a lot more jr programmers on this thread than sr programmers.

Perhaps I should have said: focus on your work.

I suspect some of the adverse reactions are because of the focus on the 'jr'.
Shouldn't all members of a software development team have a primary (work) objective of delivering the project?
