There are plenty of jobs where work is ticket based and so long as you're maintaining your work queue and communicating well, it doesn't matter.

The problem is that many creative jobs like software engineering (and yes, even the scutwork of software is still a creative endeavor) require more brain power on context than you can comfortably do as a single person.

And I say this as a SRE Consultant who explicitly has built my business on having multiple jobs. I have to reject work because it would overflow my ability to juggle and the fairly limited amount of things I currently know really well.
