There's a lot of talk these days about how the individual cottage programmer is on the way out. I don't think so, even though a team of cooperating programmers is in principle a better arrangement. My doubt springs from the fact that the best of existing programs are the product of one, at most two individuals... Does this mean that there's hope for those of us that hate programming with other people, despite pg's insistence that we need to have a cofounder?
