Go up one level in this thread
Two thoughts on this: - I agree that it more productive as I often experienced that another programmer can find adjustments to your own ideas that will help you further. Often those 'adjustments' appear to be blowing your idea to bits which saves you a lot of trying to make it work. On the programming level: I think every programmer experience a long bug hunt that ends with another programmer looking at the problem and pointing out the error in a minute. So: It would probably be more productive, at least on the short term. - I would quit computerchess when I'm forced to do it 'to the extreme'. I like hunting bugs and as it is my hobby I don't have to be productive ... :-) Richard.
