Ignore me if you feel offended.

Just want to help after reading some of your previous posts.

It gives me the impression that you care the code and the quality too much. It is a good thing since it shows your motivation. It shows you want to get better. On the other hand, put side the code and the technical parts for a monent. Think about the bigger picture. Put your thoughts on products, on software methodologies, or on even bigger picture, like the business, the industry. You may find that although code quality is important and you feel happy to deliever products of good quality, in some scenarios a product of 70% good quality can generate almost the same business benefits as a product of 90% good quality. In that case, it doesn't make sense to put more resources to improve it from 70% to 90%, which may very well double the efforts.

With a bigger picture in mind, you might get a more balanced view. Of course it needs time and experience to get that view. You are having a good start, since you care. It makes you a little emotional, which is a double-edged sword. It pushes you forward, but being emotional is a career killer. Now you need to care less, relax, and think bigger. You can do much better with being less emotional.

Since you show your motivation, your passion, I think your current working environment does no good on your career. I don't know how good you are technically now (not mean to doubt your ability. just mention a fact). But I recommend you work with really good engineers and work with a good managers. You can improve a lot by working with good engineers, by understanding their design and reading their code. A good manager will show you how to handle complicated working scenarios, how to handle conflicts, how to talk with non-technical people. It doesn't matter if you want to become a manager in the future. These non-tech skills help to keep a positive work relationship in the office, which helps to make you work more efficient and feel happy back at home.
