Reading how "7 days of work was done in 5 hours", I am thinking back on how #EnsembleProgramming made a 6-month work be ready in a week.

We have no idea of the size of a thing before we implement it. I wish we weren't asked to guess, buffer and overexplain when we learn.

Ran a version of the Mob Programming RPG today with a group of interns [*]. That is such a good tool: people get really into it and you can see the evolution with each turn.

[*] And @de_bruxaria whom we'll turn into a dev one day

Vor glaub' ein paar Wochen bin ich (m.E.n. hier im Fediverse) auf einen (m.E. guten) Artikel oder Blogpost mit Erfahrungen & Empfehlungen zum Ausprobieren & Einführen von #EnsembleProgramming a.k.a. #Teaming, #MobProgramming gestoßen. Wollte ich nun nochmal lesen, kann aber weder die verlinkende Fediverse-Nachricht noch den Artikel/Blogpost wiederfinden. 😵‍💫

#FollowerPower: Kann sich jemand daran erinnern? 🥺

(Untenstehend, was ich noch über den Artikel/Blogpost zu wissen glaube. [🧵 1 / 2])

Industrial Logic now has #EnsembleProgramming cheat sheet. https://www.industriallogic.com/cheat-sheets/

I get joy in the fact that the rename started with me and @deniseyu when it spreads to sources I consider somewhat more authoritative.

"Interestingly, the AI smells can arise not only from relying solely on GitHub Copilot but also from solo coding.

This is because our brains have a natural tendency towards laziness and gravitate towards familiar and repetitive tasks, as these require less cognitive effort. This tendency can lead us to take shortcuts and overlook important considerations."

Look what was in the mail ✉️ this weekend! 😎

Some https://mob.sh stickers 🤩

Thank you @joshuatoepfer 🙏

We need to make sure to put what was communicated into reality, until then we cannot assume that it's understood. And the best way to collaborate well is #ensembleProgramming.

Dernière après-midi à #Devoxx ; je vais découvrir le #MobProgramming (ou encore #EnsembleProgramming ou #SoftwareTeaming) dans la présentation de Marjorie Aubert et Alexandre Victoor.

L'aspect qui m'intéresse c'est le côté "on-boarding" notamment l'intégration de juniors. Ça va aussi parler de mélange télétravail / sur site, sujet important pour moi aussi 😁

👯‍♂️ Travailler en solo ? Pas vraiment mon truc !

🧠 Plusieurs cerveaux valent mieux qu'un pour résoudre un problème. C'est aussi l'occasion parfaite pour échanger nos savoirs, tant en business qu'en tech.

Just finished reading #softwareTeaming a #mobprogramming, whole team approach.

Great book would highly recommend for anyone that is or thinking of teaming.

This now makes me a certifiable software teamer. Off to update my cv.

Are there any directories of companies that do ensemble programming? I know it’s niche, but I think if companies were to specifically make it part of their hiring pitch (and then actually follow through of course), it would be a big selling point. #pairprogramming #ensembleprogramming #mobprogramming

This week as manager included something very much akin to #EnsembleProgramming and oh my, that was powerful. I learned that people don't know things they should know. I learned that things come too fast without sufficient reflection to turn them to learnings. I learned that people could succeed better given more clarity through limiting things we are learning simultaneously.

I already made changes to provide slightly better support. I still think we should pair / ensemble more.

With #EnsembleProgramming, we talk about time together being worthwhile as long as we are either #Learning or #Contributing. Today I need to add that learning the same thing every day again is not really what I mean by learning. Learning should accrue. We need to figure out ways of practicing in a way where we are likely to retain information.

What is more expensive?

Hello! #introduction

I just migrated from https://hachyderm.io/@mattwynne which was 👍🏻, but I have been meaning to move over here for some time because I love the initiative to democratically run our social media!

I'm from the UK originally, now based in Nelson, BC.

I'm a generalist/polyglot programmer. I lead the https://github.com/cucumber #opensource project and I'm known for coaching teams in technical practices like #TDD/#BDD and #EnsembleProgramming.

Also #SkiTouring and generally #MountainLiving
