As far as programming alone goes...it's entirely possible, and I know that teams go with that method. The problem I see there is that when you have a mistake that you can't quite seem to fix (missing semicolon?), it can take ages to solve. Why look for a mistake in the area that you know you coded perfectly?

Like Caleb said, trying to find someone else to work with you might not be a bad idea. If that doesn't work out, though, you can always come to CD for help when you're stuck...
