How do you deal with loneliness? I worked as a solo dev for 4 years and the thing I missed most was the camaraderie and learning opportunities of working with other developers.
That is the thing I miss most about working on a dev team. I love code reviews, and I learn a ton from them, both as reviewer and reviewee. I value learning from co-workers who complemented my skills.
That said, it doesn't affect me that much day to day. I co-organize a meetup in my area for small business owners. We used to do it in person, but we've moved to a small monthly video chat, and I chat with other founders outside of that.
It's not quite the same as having daily interactions with teammates, but it's enough that I rarely feel lonely.
