1. Press 'C' to clone and move it to projector
2. Press 'P' to show these here presenter notes

#### How to introduce the problem

- Responsible for production email service
- Keep having to extend it (business, regulatory requirements)
- Look at ofmipd code
- On my 20% time, I had an idea for how to make development easier, cheaper, safer
- Run ofmipd
- Run ofmipd behind env AUTHUP_USER=tim fixsmtpio
- Note the differences?
- We're going to do the same kind of thing, in Python
- Let's run it and say "WORD UP" to the server
- See how that works
- Okay, let's make a new test pass

## 1. Try _Test-Driven Development_

## 2. Try _Mob Programming_

## 3. Collect learnings

## [bigapplescrumday.org/code-of-conduct](https://www.bigapplescrumday.org/code-of-conduct)

## Remind ourselves how we want to behave

## Like TDD, declaring our intentions helps us live up to them

## "Tests" on the left

## "Code" on the right

## Let's write a story

## I'll start us off with a test

## Everyone

## Same problem

## Same computer

## Think out loud, together

## Driver, Navigator, rotate

## The FizzBuzz game

## Say goodbye to these slides!

- Python: case, syntax, quotes, indents matter
- The mob exercise: non-mob could follow along
- Dominant personality? One Navigator at a time
- Navigator stuck? Ask for help (or be asked)
- Solo coders? Let them solo, some might join later
- Complex story nobody wants to take? Try mobbing
- Initial mob session length: 2 hours or less
- Story: accountant-turned-tester-turned-programmer
- Onboarding: can contribute on day 1, learn fast
- Mob often chooses from multiple designs more quickly
- Mob often solves a problem more thoroughly
- Mob highlights challenging team dynamics
- Mob highlights impediments (_all_ of us are stuck)
- Mob optimizes for flow over utilization
