From what I&#x27;ve seen so far (10-15 examples), mobbing is superior to pair programming. Pair programming has a lot of social pressure (I don&#x27;t like working with X!) that just isn&#x27;t there with mob programming.<p>There&#x27;s gotta be some inflection points, though. This is an extremely interesting area to watch. If it holds up in general, it&#x27;s really completely re-structuring what we think about when we think about a tech team delivering value.<p>ADD: The thing to keep in mind here is that we&#x27;re still very early in the hype cycle. Lots of smoke, and people who make money waving their arms around. Having said that, there <i>is</i> real value here. So it&#x27;s interesting.
