>Being isolated is good, but it's harder to learn new things working by yourself.

Code reviews I feel provide a good avenue for learning how others have done things.

I've hit blocks in the past while working by myself however I feel part of learning is hitting a block over and over. Only once you truly grasp why other solutions don't work does a new novel solution really fit in completely. Moreover unless you truly try to solve it yourself you don't develop the skills to solve problems.
