Ask HN: Thoughts on Mob Programming?

2 pointsby aarohmankadabout 8 years ago
Mob programming: a software development approach where the whole team works on the same thing, at the same time, in the same space, and at the same computer.<p>We recently had a speaker at our school talk about how his team has utilized Mob Programming for increased productivity, code quality, and less bugs in production.<p>I was curious as to what your thoughts are. Can Mob Programming become a mainstream method of collaboration in the tech industry?

It&#x27;s a stupid idea. People who advocate it likely have something to sell you.
