Do most developers prefer to work alone or on a team
-
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:

It's becoming more and more obvious that you and I see eye to eye!

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

Well, if asked this at interview you say you're happy to do both. :) Seriously, though, I am happy to do both - but it depends on the nature of the team. I don't enjoy being micro-managed in a team situation. But co-operation and exchange of ideas are fine.

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 was rolling my eyes before you edited your post. :rolleyes: I guess they missed your blunt opinions John. The idea that you had such a mild response shocked them into posting a 1 in hopes of bringing back the John they love so much. ;)

depends on the team depends on my role (i like to be the boss, but never happens as i know squat:rolleyes:) depends on the task (does each developer work on a key component and then they are meant to work together to magically link these components to a single app, or do a number of dev's have to work together with differing ideas for the same goal) my view on groups, is they are fine as long as there is a good manager and good spec's to follow.

sloppy seconds
that always reminds me of a story my grandfather told... when he was in the navy. He was on leave for only a couple of days in San Fran and didn't have enough time to get home to Alb and back before he shipped out. So he was wandering around and saw a line. It was a very long line and he had nothing else to do, so he hopped in to see what all the hub-bub was about. Being curious, but not curious enough to ask anyone, he stood in the line until he got up front, saw it was a line for ladies of the evening, so he sold his place in line and made a few bucks out of the wait. :laugh: one man's meat is another man's poison. Just remember to sell your poisons. ;)

A team. But only if it really is a team.

or so he changed the ending of the story to after he realized what he started telling in polite company. :doh:

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

nope, he came back with more money, and he is not a gambler. Like me he had a lot of curiosity, and like me he was the quiet type not to ask questions, and he had a lot more sense than to stay in that line. He can out patient the most patient person, and nice enough to rescue 4 wheelers with his two wheel drive truck in the mountains. And, I more than any other person, know how he felt about his wife because no one else other than I knew he was dying in his last 2 years. He didn't tell me either, but I saw it when he visited me in the hospital, so we had a lot of talks back then with nothing to do but me sit in a hospital bed. No, I believe the story was true, any other ending wasn't like him. Though I could tell you some hunting stories that would have you rolling, he is far from perfect. :laugh:

It works pretty well until we start fighting over who gets to use the mouse.
