Mob and Extreme Programming: REX from a Junior Developer
summary
A junior developer reports on a team using Extreme Programming and mob programming (mob of 4 rotating every 10 minutes) for three years, working from a monorepo with no branches and deploying via feature flags to monitored production. They practice TDD and continuous refactoring, eliminate formal code reviews by collaborating in the mob, use a designated “Batman” interruption role and hourly breaks to manage interruptions and fatigue, and claim this setup speeds delivery while spreading knowledge and enabling continuous learning.
