Ask HN: Would you like to join a mob programming group?
I've been thinking of setting up a fully remote mob programming
group and looking for a few people to join. We could meet on zoom
or use some other tool and tackle together some interesting issues
from GitHub or pick an interesting project and work on it. I'm a
full stack dev and that is a sort of project I'm interested in
working on. I'm UK based and would love to meet during the week
after 8 PM as I have kids and want to put them to bed. If you're
interested reply with an email or ping me on telegram - username is
mac_tele Want the first meeting to happen next Thursday at 8:30 PM
UK time I'll set up a mailing group where we will agree on the
tools to use and pick the first task to work on. I'm not
interested in opinions about mob programming, I have very positive
experience with remote sessions :)

| Well, I am. Wtf is mob programming and who's got hands-on-
