What is Mob Programming and how does it impact teams?

Concurrency is hard. It's hard because side-effects are hard to predict & communicate, especially when working in teams. "Why is there a mutex lock here?" needs to be documented well and, as we all know, documentation rarely stays up to date. But, we need concurrency to get many tasks done at the same time without waiting for each task in serial. What if, for many tasks, we could get the benefits of concurrency without having to deal with all of those pesky side-effects? That's the promise of asynchronous programming. In this episode we dive into the whys, hows, and history of async programming! https://lnkd.in/gv-DZdWC

I’m working on a talk for a company where some people are already practicing Mob Programming (which I now call Software Teaming). The talk combines several pieces I’ve shared before: 1. A rapid introduction to Software Teaming 2. Stories from real teams about the benefits they’ve discovered 3. A look at why those benefits emerge, particularly through Lean Flow 4. The skills we need to work this way It feels a bit like trying to fit an entire encyclopedia set into a single volume. Which makes me wonder: do people even have encyclopedias anymore? It’s a different world than when I was in school.

The hardest part of programming isn’t solving problems, it’s deciding which problems deserve to be solved. Most bad systems come from people solving irrelevant problems beautifully, because they are obsessed with imaginary challenges.

Having somebody watch you code is sometimes uncomfortable. I got used to it from working at companies where pair programming was normal, and then teaching programming where much of the time is spent projecting your screen for the class. For onboarding and debugging, there's no better way than to code together, and guess what, we all make the same typos, the same missed keystrokes, it's nothing to stress about. There are so many shortcuts and tricks in modern editors and IDEs that it's almost guaranteed that you can learn something from watching somebody else. Try it, it's just code, and it doesn't have to be an individual sport. #PairProgramming

Pair programming isn’t about two keyboards >> it’s about shared brains. Pair and mob programming reduce debugging pain, kill context switching, and spread knowledge faster. They lower cognitive load by making problem-solving collective, not individual. The result? Higher quality with less mental strain. Is pair/mob programming underused in your org? #CognitiveLoad #PairProgramming

Defensive programming is the practice of anticipating problems that may arise in a software system and writing code to keep the system in a good state when such problems occur.

When new programming languages emerged, some predicted the end of programming. Instead, it led to a mass proliferation of applications and use cases. Making things easier enables us to make things better. Once organizations have the capacity, what do they do with it? Do they bank it or use it to motivate the team to push boundaries in claim servicing? #programming #applications #innovation #technology #futureofwork 🎥: 28th&Park

🚀 Level up your C skills! I just built a Tic Tac Toe game from scratch! 🎮 I'm excited to share my console-based Tic Tac Toe project—a fun way to practice C programming and game logic. 🔹 Features: -Two-player game (Player X and Player O) -Detects win conditions (rows, columns, diagonals) -Declares winner or draw automatically -Handles invalid moves gracefully 🛠 Technologies Used: -C Language -2D arrays for board representation -Loops & conditional statements ▶ How to Run: git clone https://lnkd.in/gPYGGHxv cd Tic_Tac_Toe_Game gcc main.c game.c -o tic_tac_toe ./tic_tac_toe 💡 Key Learnings: -Working with 2D arrays in C -Implementing win/draw logic and input validation -Structuring a small project professionally 👉 Full Project on GitHub: GitHub Repo Would love your thoughts and feedback! How would you improve this game, or what other C projects do you recommend for practice? Let’s connect and share ideas! #CProgramming #TicTacToe #Coding #Projects #LearnToCode #GitHub #Programming 🎬 Demo:
