SOME HELPFUL OBSERVATIONS FOR SUCCESSFUL MOB
PROGRAMMING
From The Hunter Mob & Llewellyn Falco
ALWAYS BE CONTRIBUTING
There are many ways to contribute. Navigation &
Driving is obvious, but there is also proof reading,
googling, sharing shortcuts, offering affirmations &
suggestions; even asking “why?” can be helpful. Always
find your way to be actively contributing to the mob.
RESPECT EACH OTHER
We all have our strengths and weakness. In
the exposure of the mob, we value each others
strengths, forgive each others weakness and
are patience with each other as we learn.
RESPECT THE CODE
The code is never perfect and we are always looking to
make it better. However, we respect the value the current
code brings, and the effort needed to get the code to it’s
current level. This means not insulting the previous
creators but also that when you navigate you work with the
code and don’t just remove what the previous person did.
JUST TRY IT
If there are 2 solutions, just pick 1 and try it. Afterwards,
you can discuss if you need to go back and try the other one
instead. Many times, form the perspective of a finished
task, people no longer care. If you still do, then it probably
is important to try the other path. But never spend 20
minutes discussing something that can be done in 10.
SPEAK TO THE DRIVER
We always strive to speak at the highest level the diver can
understand. This will change by person and even by time of day.
Sometimes the diver can understand “loop thru that list”,
sometimes “write a for loop” and sometimes we will need the
keystrokes “f-o-r”. The navigators take care to keep their
communications as high as possible while still within the drivers
immediate understanding.
DON’T BE AFRAID TO TAKE A BIO-BREAK
The environment should service being an active part of the
mob. This means valuing comfort and other human factors
but also means that sometimes you will need a short break.
Don’t be afraid to take one, the flow of the mob and the
work will continue without you and be here ready for you
when you return.
