There are also people who write insanely complicated and featured software for themself. They open-source or might even sell it, but their only target user is themself.
You can code a long way solely - because you spend no time on communication.
Sometimes their software is useless for anyone but themself. Sometimes it is useful and then it forms a whole fanatical community around it.
How to determine you've hit this piece of software: it has tons and tons of features and they all interact beautifully, provided your needs fit whatever task the Creator had in mind. Everything you can think of is already there and works.
Example: Far Manager (for windows; early versions, anyway).
Paradigm shifts tend to leave such projects on the sideway because the previous paradigm was pretty fine for the Creator so he sticks to it.
