At the last event Pentalog hosted for us, you said you'd love to see how Remote Mob Programming feels like. I immediately reacted with a "Call for Mobbers" email to our community members, and 5 of you stepped up to help me. Since I couldn't reject any of the applicants, we'll have two mobbing sessions.

~~ What is mob programming ~~
3 or more developers (4 in our case) collaborate taking turns at the same codebase. When the time frame finishes, the next developer continues.

~~ Mobbing Style ~~
- 5 minutes/round, after which brutally push/pull code in whatever state;
- Pair programming = one driver writing code, one navigator working closely together;
- "Strong-Style Pair Programming" = the navigator MUST tell the driver what to write. The driver is downgraded to a 'smart typist'
- The others in the mob keep quiet, unless the pair blocks, or a major issue is spotted.

~~ The target takeaways ~~
- Different opinions about clean code and design
- Mobbing as a great way to ramp up your team's skills and bond the team
- Hands-on tricks to use when mobbing or pairing remotely
- Strong-style Pair Programming to make sure all ideas are discussed

~~ Agenda ~~
- Intro 5 minutes
- Hands-on coding, each of us 4 taking turns
- Wrap up 5-10 minutes + Next steps for you
