Solo coding is tricky because you're working in a vacuum. Pull someone else in to put some accountability and focus your direction.
You don't need pair programming, but having to explain to someone what the next step is really makes it clear what the next step is.
My company instituted code reviews and I spent some time coming up with why they are useful:

I am a huge fan, just for what can be learned. But I agree that often corporate 'code reviews' are nothing more than a boring meeting.
I think you could say 500x if they are correct in stating current solar panels only absorb visible light. Then saying they absorb 90%, is only 90% of visible light. If he created a cell that can absorb UV then it is possible to absorb more 'light'.
I agree with *parent*. I just read Corey Doctrow's "little Brother" can we seriously let this kind of thing happen?
I have a pair of young daughters. I plan to let them leave school very often. We'll go and do things that are actually educational. If anyone suggests placing my daughters in Prison or placing them under House Arrest for not going to school I will make sure to stock up on Faraday Cage anklets.
In fact if you're there in Dallas and you need to circumvent this idiodic "security" try wifi paint on your favorite hangout
Coding Horror has an article (http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001072.html) regarding the hack. Included in the comments are some people who used Reflector to check what the source says. It looked to me like someone didn't know how to send emails to himself. But it could be some debugging code...
