Third in a series featuring talks from our recent Geek 23 conference is Software Engineer, Flávio Sousa, presenting, Mobbing – A programmer’s survival guide.
Mobbing, or mob programming, is a software development approach where the team is contributing to the same task at the same time. This means no PRs – everyone’s work is integrated moment to moment – and once the task is done, it gets pushed straight to master.
In this talk, Flávio shares his experience of mob programming during a five month engagement last year. He’ll give an honest account from a non-advocate’s point of view, and share the good and the bad. By the end of the talk, you’ll have an idea of how a seemingly time-wasting approach can yield pretty good results.
Geek 23 was a specific event for, and led by, our Equal Experts community. Speakers gave talks on a range of topics including service design, developer experience, operability, leadership, distributed systems, testing, large language models, DevOps, mob programming and microservices.
All business models have their pros and cons. But, when you consider the type of problems we help our clients to solve at Equal Experts, it’s worth thinking about the level of experience and the best consultancy approach to solve them.
