Well, I've started programming only a few years ago, and haven't done a lot of projects.
I guess the best thins I learned was I preffer to do projects alone. Everytime I try to do a project with someone, one of two scenarios happen:

- We each do a part of the project, and only talk at the end. Normally everything works out fine.
- We can't agree on anything and, in the end, nothing ever works.

I think I only enjoyed doing a project with one person. We were learning vue.js, but I was staying behind and the guy I was with was okay at it. He would do most things, while i was watching him and he would explained what he was doing and why. Then I started doing stuff (very easy things) while he was watching me and guiding me. Telling me if there was a better way of doing something, or even if I made a typo. Basically, I would do something and he would tell me if it was wrong. We ended up making a (very) simplified imdb from scratch in, I think, 8 hours? Took us longer to choose the template then to make the actual project. Yes, he made most of the project, but I think I have an excuse on this one. I did end up learning a lot, I wouldn't pass that module if it wasn't for him.

Other then that one, I never had any good experience in a group. I would rather make everything alone, no one to disagree or fight with.

    It is something you need to learn. My current project is an example of it.

    My colleague knows a ton about networking, azure and .net, but at the same time makes tons of typos and basic product knowledge.

    I have less experience with Azure and networking but I know quite a bit on the product and its architecture.

    We disagree quite a lot, but that is needed to get to best solutions.

    @Codex404 I've been trying to get better at it, and the problem might even be me (why I'm trying to get better at it) but every time I have to do a project with someone the other person always goes "you do this I do that".

    Or sometimes, if I ask someting the other person doesn't respond and does everything on their own, even if I try to at least help, they don't let me/ignore me.

    Some other times I have to do everything by myself because the other person doesn't want to, and even if I ask them to do something easy they don't care and won't do it or do it very quickly and ends up not being right, so I still have to do it by myself.

    Like I said, I never had any good experience with group projects 😑

    EDIT: actually, that's a lie, there were a couple people that I could do a project with, without feeling like I wanted to: a) break their necks; b) break my own neck.
