I think most programmers, by personality, may like to think we've got it all down within ourselves, but there's definitely value in working together on problems as well. Often, we're so heavily invested that we can't see the problem that's causing what we think is the problem - literally, we can't see the forest for the trees.

I've been a one-deep programmer for 4 years, and a self-employed side-job programmer for 10. I'm sure the code I've written during those combined 14-years would be better with a second set of eyes on it.

p.s. I like Elm, I just ran into problems making it do what I wanted it to do. I'm sure the error was on my end...
