The Mob Mentality Show

Chris and Austin discussed mob programming at scale, agile, extreme programming, and "eye-opening experiences" with Andy Graham (https://twitter.com/virtualmackem) and Sean Cowan (https://twitter.com/stcowan).

Chris and Austin share how they have used the "My Turn is for Learning" mob programming pattern to not only make progress and deliver valuable work but also help someone learn who is new to the team/code/domain.

Chris and Austin have a good time discussing with Florian Schneider (https://twitter.com/f2_107) and John Fletcher (https://twitter.com/fletchgqc) on Team Oriented Development, Pair/Mob Programming, Parallel Programming, and Chaos Engineering (Tech & Teams). Listen in and then come join the conversation! 

Think mob programming and craftsmanship at a startup is a walking contradiction? Think again! Check out Chris and Austin's discussion with Mike LaRocca where they discover insights on mob programming at a startup, balancing individual & group time, and remote mob programming tools.

Often the focus with organizational change is how to get teams to experiment with and adopt new practices. However, last week's well-motivated working agreement can become this month's bureaucracy that is weighing down the system. Does your org/team have a way to identify failed experiments? Does it have a way to stop them before the disease spreads? Tune in to hear Chris and Austin share their experiences with getting bad practices to leave the system.
