I'd like to learn to leverage collaboration and the societal politics of my field to help achieve bigger and more impactful projects. Being a loner is only going to get me so far, I've realized. (I'm a grad student.)

Good call.

You can be the best developer in the world, in a job that leaves you alone and lets you write code, and you might get several times as much done as another developer. Or you can spend a little less time writing code and have a few productive meetings and discussions, resulting in far more development than you could ever do alone. And you'll still get to write plenty of code.
