Asking for 10% might be too big of a stretch for a single comp adjustment, but otherwise it’s a sound strategy that I coach my own team members to undertake when they feel their performance justifies a raise.
I think that is a bad idea.
With this kind of approach, the most you can get yourself is more work or more responsibilities.

In my experience 10% is on the low end of tech salary adjustments, especially during your first five years.
Fair point, it really depends on the base that 10% is being applied to.
10% of 70k is 7k, very reasonable adjustment
10% of 300k might be harder for a SMB but probably not a FAANG
