The word solitary was used more than once, so I don't think it's a strawman. My point is the quality of the final output is going to be suspect if you take the "leave me alone and let me code" approach.
From the original comment alone one can't deduce it was about zero communication without some serious assumptions. Only a difference in communication structure.
That this invokes the kneejerk response of "well you need to communicate to make products" is arguably a bigger testament of what is wrong with tech. Including the incessant need to label everything with only the smallest details.
