I tend to prefer to be the helper rather than the helped! Feeling part of a good team is important, and I had that for a while a couple of years back, but management spoilt it and destroyed what we had. I’m still in contact with some of those team-mates, but we’ve all left one way or another.
Collaboration can be good too, but on your own terms. Agree that knowing how things tick is a huge part of why I like doing things that way.
Oh for sure. One nice part about my current job is feeling like being part of a functioning team.
Constant isolation isn’t necessary or good. But for certain personal projects that I am designing and building from scratch, solo can be so nice.
