For me:

Sometimes it doesn't matter how hard you work, your going to get laid off either way.
Just showing up can sometimes make the difference.
Your not paid to be a software developer. Your being paid to be a problem solver.

A corollary to your first one: if you take on extra work people will forget it is extra work when it's not delivered on time or has issues. It does not matter how much the first three people fucked it up, you touched it last.

    People will only forget, if you let them. I always make sure my contributions are very clearly visible. That of course presupposes that you have meaningful contributions to make visible.
