Have to admit, when I read 'mob programming', I expected something closer to how open source works. Or random people on social media committing code for the site in a big free for all.
I still don't get why this 'multiple people on one computer' thing would be helpful though. I mean, couldn't a team working on the same site on multiple computers do pretty much the same thing with the bonus of a quicker turn around? Seems like micromanagement gone insane...
Haven't ever really worked with a big enough team for it. I mean, current workplace has exactly two people doing web development, and the previous one had maybe between one and three people per project. If we tried to work like this, nothing would ever get done.
