> I can't imagine working alone all the time I can. I like working that way because it lets me focus and write really good code. being around people, is more social, but I'm not writing code while I'm doing it. Which doesn't mean that it doesn't have its place, because it does (meetings are necessary to get a shared clear plan of how to work together on something, getting help on a problem or helping out with a problem builds trust/camraderie among team members) > I'm tired of the old 'meetings suck, PM's suck' cliches Just as I'm sure tons of programmers are irritated hearing you seem to suggest that working on their own is somehow bad or wrong.
