Corporate culture is rarely a meritocracy.

I would never say that corporate culture is 100% a meritocracy, because it's obv not. But on the other hand I will say that there is more to merit than just the quality and quantity of code a programmer writes. Those things are obv important, but other things are important too. If all you want to do is write code & be left alone, fine. More power to you, and I really can't blame you. Write a lot of good code and you will probably be fine. If you want to move up or be given more responsibility, other qualities become more important than they are for a programmer.
