A Story of Mob Programming, Testing and Everything -
summary
A team experiments with mob programming to dissolve a critical knowledge silo and moved infrastructure to AWS together, learning by doing and automating most of the pipeline. Sessions start strict then evolve: they rotate on task, not timer, let the driver contribute (but not rush), and accept partial mobs allowed so people can step out. Results are qualitative: faster decisions, fewer blockers, more pairing, smoother onboarding; practical setup tips include a big screen, external keyboard and a short retrospective.
