Sticky mob programming

This is an excerpt from and my contribution to the experience reports section of Mob Programming - A Whole Team Approach by Woody Zuill and Kevin Meadows. If you want to start mob programming, but don't quite know how, I can highly recommend getting the book! In 2015

Journeyman: thoughtbot

thoughtbot [https://thoughtbot.com] is a company that to most Rubyists needs no introduction. Legion are its employees' contributions to the open source ecosystem. My first encounter with thoughbot occurred four years ago when Mike Burns moved to Stockholm and started looking for gigs around Christmas 2011. The following

Evothings [http://evothings.com] turned out to be an unexpected, but pleasant tour stop. When setting the dates it wasn't even certain that it would be the tour stop. I had namely latched on to Peter Svensson [https://www.linkedin.com/in/petersvensson] rather than a particular company.

Much like Agila Sverige [http://agilasverige.se] gave me the opportunity to introduce MittMedia [https://codecoupled.org/2015/11/06/journeyman-mittmedia] to MobProgramming [http://mobprogramming.org], it also opened the door for doing the same at Avanza [https://www.avanza.se], the largest online stock broker in Sweden. Leading up

Journeyman: The next tour stop

Back in May I announced [https://codecoupled.org/2015/05/06/announcing-my-journeymanship] that I would go on a journeyman tour [https://codecoupled.org/journeyman-tour]. More than half a year later, that journey is coming to an end. Or rather, to a new beginning. During my journeyman travels, I was sorely

Journeyman: Sqore

It was Wednesday morning and I was in somewhat of a sour mood. The previous day's mob programming session hadn't progressed in any way I thought it would. To a greater extent than in other novice mobs I have attempted to facilitate, people had come and

The past week, Avdi Grimm [http://about.avdi.org] released the two episodes of Ruby Tapas [https://www.rubytapas.com] that he worked on during my stay with him and his lovely family in fair Tennessee. For now, I'm not going into details regarding the non-work parts of

For an excellent writeup in Swedish from the perspective of the MittMedia development team, see Mathias Nylén's blog post [http://dev.mittmedia.se/team/blogging/lennart/2015/11/05/lennarts-journeyman-tour.html] . Satisifed with the last few adjustments to the presentation, I glanced out of the window at the

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

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]. The overarching goal of

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'

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,

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

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

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

Journeyman: Agical

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.

Journeyman: Kundo

On the eve of my first journeyman tour stop, I began to question my sanity. What on earth had I gotten myself into? Switching coworkers, problem domain, programming environment, language, and technology stack every week for the foreseeable future. Well, for a couple of months at least. With a summer

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,

About a week ago I announced my journeyman tour [https://codecoupled.org/2015/05/06/announcing-my-journeymanship] which has been very well-received, leaving me booked for the first half of it [https://codecoupled.org/journeyman-tour] and in talks with several more interested parties. A recurring question (well, fine it's
