i had a good pair session right when i started my current gig. my boss, the guy who wrote all the code before i joined, was walking me through some profiling and basically rubber ducking each other on how to speed it up. it helped me to see how he wanted things prioritized in the code and to get my bearings in a codebase written by one guy.

we hired another dev and i did the same process with him. we walked through some bug he had to work on and saw how we each debugged things and liked to approach problems.

these are the only two pair sessions ive had. they were both immensely helpful for the new employee in both cases, and usedul for me in the latter case as the senior. i dont think i could work like this on the reg but it was v productive as a realtime knowledge transfer tool and getting exposure to different approaches

Mob programming (informally mobbing) (aka. ensemble programming) is a software development approach where the whole team works on the same thing, at the same time, in the same space, and at the same computer.

mob programming is when you and your buds occupy the same relativistic space time as one poor computer and rotate the poor soul who has to sit in front of it while getting yelled at
