Well, I am. Wtf is mob programming and who’s got hands-on-keyboard?
Pair programming makes sense because a discussion can be held — mob programming makes me imagine twitch plays Pokémon
Basically, one person writes the other discussion, and we switch every 20 minutes, so everybody can take part.
>We adopted the terminology from Code with the Wisdom of the Crowd by Mark Pearl:
>One person controls the keyboard, this is the typist. The rest of the mob discusses the problem, agrees on the solution, and instructs the typist. The typist follows their instructions, puts them into code, and may ask clarifying questions to understand the solution. The rest of the mob guides the typist as needed.
>We value the typist as they allow the rest of the mob to focus on solving the problem.
>The typist must not code on their own. This balances the participation of all team members and it reduces the dominance of strong characters.
That sounds horrible!

seems like a wonderful weird experiment to run!
