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

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

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.
