Communicate! I've worked on and off with some ragtag groups of developers, only getting a "proper" job a couple months ago. Since I never had to properly co-ordinate with others before the job, I was a very terrible co-worker despite my performance. My manager and product lead had to step in for an intervention and help me see the error of my ways, which has helped me both be a better coworker to my awesome colleagues as well as a more happy and productive person in general.
