I have much more experience working alone, but: git alone is a breeze. I don’t need to impose myself some arbitrary constrain because I know (or think I do) I won’t abuse it. I can use the stack I consider best/am more productive on, instead of what’s fashionable this year. No linting, coding conventions, etc. Just the pure joy of problem solving.

On the other hand, on the right conditions, the amount you learn on a good team is ridiculous compared to what you’d do alone. Weeks vs years kind of thing.
