If I can do it myself and am familiar with the code, then I work on my own.
If I am not familiar with the code, then I prefer a team. Always nice to see some expertise when coding around me.

seem to be reasonably sensible, no one has voted for number 3. Some pillock will naturally vote for solo - large, team - small before the week is out.
While I prefer solo work it just does not make sense on large projects, not with a reasonably delivery time at least.

Don't you yearn to work on a large project solo? You get to architect the entire thing, make decisions that span a massive system knowing that the entire thing will be consistent and along the lines of your thinking, not bent by someone else's?
(and of course with your own consistent architectural errors and bugs  )

Gods forbid, working on a project with multi year delivery profile is one of the truly horrifying things that could happen to me. While I have worked on such a project when I started into it the horizon was a couple of months, the most amazing case of scope creep I have ever heard of.
I find my willingness to accept that I screwed up has saved me from compounding errors that I have seem turn into the most terrible, unsupportable kludges around (SAS comes to mind along with blotus)

It simplifies the search for guilty... 
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Lots of the radio button items asks what I prefer. The survey subject asks what is better.
My preference is not necessarily better. There is a brotherly- and social aspect of working in a team. That is not to say that it is always better than working solo. Don't get the two mixed up. This should have been two surveys... 1) Which is better. 2) What do you prefer.
The important part of bug finding&fixing bugs is not necessarily the fixing of it interdependently, but rather the finding which should be done interdependently- or even better... by more than one party (coder and tester). It is more difficult to find fault in ones own code than if someone else checked it. Point being: Why compare apples and pears... coding in a team does not mean coding and testing but you use it as if it were interchangeable. I can code by myself but still be part of a team that is working on a project with a couple of people testing my code, and fix the bugs they find myself.

As a hobbyist programmer I have never worked on a team. So it is solo only.
Within you lies the power for good - Use it!

So...why don't the two of you get together and work as a team, to see how it goes?
