Do most developers prefer to work alone or on a team
-
Teamwork is much better in case of complex projects but if project is less than 500 hours it's better to work alone. Same thing with website support.

Alone but in close proximity to other teams for conversation if nothing else.
I still remember having to write your own code in FORTRAN rather than be a cut and paste merchant being pampered by colour coded Intellisense - ahh proper programming - those were the days :)
-
I prefer to work alone, other people are distracting plus I've found I approch problems from a differnt perspective than most people and they distract me from solving the problem. It is good to have other's near by in case I do need to bounce idea's off others.

I prefer to work with at least one other person. Having someone to bounce ideas off is invaluable.

I think you are asking a very broad question, which really doesn't have anything to do with profession. Some people like to work alone, and some don't. I think it's more related to their personality (introvert vs extrovert), rather than profession. I prefer a mix, but on my own terms. I'm an introvert, but have adapted to the harsh reality that most people are extrovert! I want to be able to get away from excessive irrelevance once in a while. :)

I prefer alone because when you work in a group there is always that one idiot that screws everything up and makes me want to scream.

aye, just having someone to talk something through with is a great debugging tool hehe. It'll often be that whilst explaining and idea or some code that I'll spot a problem.
It sure can. The best part is that I can do all of that from the sofa, as my partner is also a developer...:laugh:

Doesn't matter to me. -- modified at 10:03 Monday 20th August, 2007 And I get a 1 vote because it doesn't matter to me whether I work in a team or alone? How absurdly amusing.

I prefer to work with a team of supermodels all of whome need individual help. ;) It doesn't really matter to me, per se. I do get frustrated with a team at times, but it has its advantages as well as disadvantages. Same with working alone.

definitely alone. However, I can't. One advantage seems to be that I can delegate ugly stuff. Yeah, I'm a shit router.

I prefer a team but with separate sections. It is nice to share a great success as part of a team. But you have to take care not to step on your teammate's toes.

Depends upon the project in the office i used to work in a team and in the home since i am working privately for my friends i used to work alone for a project, which may be of the windows based and web based.
SSK.

Like most people have said here, I like to work alone but still have someone to bounce ideas off of. Usually when I work in a team, I end up spending a lot of time "discussing" (thats putting it lightly) why it should be done in one way verses another.:doh: The good thing that comes out of it is that I get a another viewpoint and sometimes back down as my solution is not always the best (hey I'm human)... However it seems that some team members feel as if they are never wrong and there solution (although completely wrong) is the best way...:wtf:

Fine with me! I always thought sloppy seconds was rather gauche myself. :)
