Personally I think there is a large amount of value in wrestling with an idea until you are completely stuck on it and then talking to another engineer about it for a couple of minutes. Maybe I'm just an external processor, but some of the most creative and interesting things I have come up with have been the result of talking through a problem I've encountered with someone else.

Perhaps you just need a rubber duck? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging
Joking aside, I absolutely agree with you. I enjoy working with other smart people I can bounce ideas off of.
