Great article.
The amount of things I've learned by going it alone on past and present projects...
Working alone meant I could do things at my own pace, be the 'benevolent dictator' to myself, and to style a look & feel for my Thing(s) the way I want it to be.
As an example, my ongoing project which is a 3rd party app for Explorers in Elite: Dangerous: https://captainslog.scarygliders.net/captains-log-2/ https://captainslog.scarygliders.net/captains-log-2/
Python, PySide, sqlalchemy, etc. Even a bit of HTML, javascript and CSS for things like the animated logo in the About window which is a QWebView, and some other web views which I managed to blend in with the Qt widgets. There was so much to learn and so much has been learned, and even that's an ongoing process.
I could open source it, and have pondered exactly that over the years, but I just don't want the extra overhead of "herding cats" - props to those who can and do such though. In fact I have open sourced a couple of things but - perhaps thankfully - no one seemed that interested in participating.
