Do you prefer to work alone or to work in a group? Be it in-office or remote. Guided works should not be included as it involves at least 2 people.
And also on an interesting note, how much AI has replaced your work buddy?

There’s a saying:

If you want to go fast, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

I also have an amendment to that which is:

If you want to go neither fast, nor far, go with a toddler.

I don't know, the number of problems I figured out quickly by describing the logic to a toddler...

[–] tiny_mouse@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I should give that one a shot!

Honestly it works. The act of vocalizing your thoughts sometimes gives you answers. Doesn't need to be a toddler, the classic is a rubber duck I knew someone who had an action figure of iron man. He would tell people he struggled with a problem he would just ask Tony stark.

Quite the conundrum. I work better alone, but I want to go far.
