I think with this opinion there is in the best case only a very loose 
cooperation possible. E.g sharing ideas with other programmers, but 
everybody does his own stuff.
But I can not imagine that anyone wants to work for fun in a project were a 
single person decides the direction. I like Java and dislike C, full stop. 
This does not even work in a commercial project. Its possible to be in an 
industrial environment the boss, but not in a distributed project with 
highly individualistic programmers. Team discussion processes are sometimes 
a pain in the ass, but not to avoid. Sometimes they are even very productive 
and it is in the contrary an indicator for a crisis if there are no 
discussions at all. Nobody cares really anymore about the project.
