Offense is the way to go. Everyone does better. Perfect isn't awesome because perfect doesn't really exist. Giving some fire doesn't make your candle burn any less.

This is true- especially if that person has to 'toot their own horn' about it in front of everyone else- office virtue signaler. The trick to excellence is letting everyone else notice it on their own, and STFU about everyone else's work- absolutely hands off, no comments unless YOU have to sign off on it.
Let their boss deal with it.
1) Be Switzerland in these matters.
2)- follow Machiavelli's advice- never outshine your boss, unless he's declining.
