From my experience the lowest productivity engineers are the ones that just never talk. I understand being an introvert but we all chat about things we have passion for.
Anyways ive seen so many "programmers" that sit silently in meetings and also just do not produce good code. Usually they produce bad code that I have to revert.
I have corrected design (that fortunately were not implemented yet) where an API were to make parallel calls to the same table, and after all of them returns, calculate the pagination via combination and math.
I replaced it with an index, it was a pretty straightforward index as well, imagine the pain if the original design was somehow implemented.
