Team of 1 is not a team...
Working alone is just boring, one sided and leads to a one guy optimal solution... in most cases not optimal at all but there's no one there to challenge it anyway...
Good for job security, at least while it lasts

This answer is so elegant that it is often overlooked.
This way there is no way to confuse who is responsible for the bad code and the good code too.
Eliminates confusion.

I don't know, a team if 0 produces 0 bugs.

I have always preferred working alone... and maybe everyone else has preferred not working with me? Hmmm... 
Anyway, when beginning a new project, one probably shouldn't look at a spec and decide "this will require ten developers" and then go hire ten developers. Start with one developer to get things going, set the style, then bring in another, etc. Build the team slowly, and only as needed.
The only large team I was on (dozens of developers), was for a project that was well into maintenance.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Microsoft has failed to address a remotely exploitable security flaw affecting the most widely used version of Internet Explorer. Does it still count as an exploit if no one has used it? (Although I guess they will now. Thanks)

Some of these haven't been updates or had any source control changes in years.
NPlot for example hasn't been updated for 7 years.

Maybe it works as expected and is therefore just finished?

Yes, you just have to make a judgement as to whether a library is worth using or not. I usually go by recent updates in the first instance. If no recent updates is there a forum that shows current regular active usage of the library?
Also of relevance is whether it's primarily a single developer who maintains it. What happens if they drop dead?

 Lol, I like stuff that "just works." Quite often that's not the case. If I have to spend more than a certain amount of time faffing about I give up and try something else.

There's no simple solution for preventing injection attacks. There are effective strategies that can stop them in their tracks. Uh... It's going to sting a little and something else?
