Ha! Resonates. Used to have a group of comm protocol engineers at our company, the most famous and popular with sales and customers. Reason: their code broke all the time, and they flew places to hack it until it worked. Looked like heroes most of the time. Meanwhile, our group got an award for least-bugs-in-a-release-ever. Well, recognized anyway, no money or promotion or even a plaque. So it goes.

Yeah, exactly. If your stuff "just works" there's a danger that the manager will assume that what you're doing is easy. I, though, regard people who's stuff "just works" as solid gold.
