Mechanic by trade, software dev because it's fun as heck. And, well, it will be nice to WFH when I decide my body has had enough. No commute, A/C, less silica glistening in the early morning air!
Not collaborating with others on projects, opting to fly solo most times.
I only have the one internship under my belt, about 9 months. I do not work in development presently, but I work on various personal projects on my free time. So take this for what it's worth.
I've come to realize that having just one other person to collaborate with is a game changer. Talking through problems, developing a path forward, bouncing ideas of each other as we work towards a solution, and a greater drive to put in effort as to not disappoint our peers. We also bring something different to the table, which help fill in knowledge gaps.
Collaborating with others can also help with networking and employment later on. All it takes is for one of the people you've worked on a project with to suggest you as a candidate for an open position and you now have your foot in the door.

No problem! If I can help someone learn from my mistake, it wasn't a mistake.
