Agile The second family This is a translation of my Agila Sverige [http://agilasverige.se/] 2014 lightning talk "Den andra familjen". I was recently asked by Magine TV [https://magine.com] to give it again in English at an internal conference dedicated to company culture. For a recording of the original talk
Mob programming A journeyman's photographic guide to mob programming During my journeyman travels, I've been increasingly asked to facilitate and participate in mob programming [http://mobprogramming.org] sessions. This has resulted in a growing collection of pictures and recently it struck me that they could be put to good use. There are certainly plenty of check lists
Journeyman Weapons of mass satisfaction This is a retrospective [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrospective#Software_development] format that I tried out when facilitating a sprint retrospective at Auctionet [https://auctionet.com/en] during my recent journeyman tour [https://codecoupled.org/journeyman-tour] visit there [https://codecoupled.org/2015/10/14/journeyman-auctionet].

Journeyman Journeyman: Auctionet Before becoming an official part of Auctionet [https://auctionet.com], there was a development team known as Barsoom [http://www.barsoom.se]. I've known the team for several years now, even before Kim [https://codecoupled.org/author/kim] joined it in 2012. But since before that they'
Journeyman Journeyman: Twingly For the longest period of time, all I knew was that I had been invited to visit and work with a team by Shadowman [http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_Man]. Well, at least that's his avatar. My Google-fu skills failed me and as much as I tried,
Agile Journeyman: the first month Summarising the first leg of the journey [https://codecoupled.org/journeyman-tour] was initially less than straightforward. I set out to overcome my own fears of being a one-trick pony, ill-equipped to handle a different job than I've been doing or a different technology stack than I've
Agile Journeyman: Elabs Let me preface this instalment of my journeyman [https://codecoupled.org/2015/05/06/announcing-my-journeymanship] tales by this: if I was living in Gothenburg, I would eagerly spend my working days at Elabs [http://www.elabs.se]. But more importantly, I would want to spend a lot of my free
Agile Journeyman: Transmode You, Pia [https://twitter.com/frusunnanbo] said, waving a finger at me as I was sitting next to her waiting for the next lightning talk to begin at Agila Sverige [http://agilasverige.se]. I want to talk to you. Less than a month later I found myself in the halls
Agile Journeyman: Agical Late to the party, I was completely oblivious to the notion of a community of developers, exchanging ideas and experiences freely and willingly. When I at long last discovered that there was in fact such a thing, I largely did so through the monthly events hosted by Agical [http://www.
Agile Shame by example Sorry that I'm a year late, Adam said. What do you mean? I replied. Well, I haven't watched your talk from last year until now, but now I've done so and it's great. Alliterations, well-rehearsed, inspiring. I felt a bit fatigued earlier,
Agile Killing your acquaintances It's a well-known stance that one should be prepared to kill one's darlings. It then comes as no surprise that you should be even more inclined to let go off things you hold less dear as well. Occassionaly you need to be reminded about it though

Agile Kundo can do mob programming As I mentioned in a previous post [https://codecoupled.org/2015/03/19/a-mob-of-mobs], I was invited to facilitate a mob programming [http://mobprogramming.org] session at another company, namely Kundo [http://en.kundo.se/] which is primarily a Python [https://www.python.org] shop. This Wednesday I took some
Agile A mob of mobs It's been over a year since I last wrote [https://codecoupled.org/2014/03/03/walking-the-walk/] anything about mob programming [http://mobprogramming.org], but time hasn't stood still. At Mag+ [https://magplus.com] we've continued to use mob programming in various ways and contexts;
Agile Walking the Walk Week 1 Monday morning, weekly planning meeting - How about mob programming[1] this on Wednesday? Over the past few weeks, the team had worked in pairs on separate parts of a new system. However, the previous week had been interrupted by illness and meetings so I felt we had
Agile Featured Mob Refactoring Today at work we tried mob refactoring, which is just like mob programming, but instead of creating new code you refactor existing code. Our goal was mostly to spread knowledge within the group, to even out the knowledge a bit and also practise refactoring. We are lucky enough to have
