Basically, one person writes the other discussion, and we switch every 20 minutes, so everybody can take part.

> Typist and the Rest of the Mob

>We adopted the terminology from Code with the Wisdom of the Crowd by Mark Pearl:

>One person controls the keyboard, this is the typist. The rest of the mob discusses the problem, agrees on the solution, and instructs the typist. The typist follows their instructions, puts them into code, and may ask clarifying questions to understand the solution. The rest of the mob guides the typist as needed.

>We value the typist as they allow the rest of the mob to focus on solving the problem.

>The typist must not code on their own. This balances the participation of all team members and it reduces the dominance of strong characters.

That sounds horrible!

This sounds like a lot of fun for people who have personality traits I don’t posses. I think I would end up quietly stewing that I keep getting talked over and nobody listens to my ideas. Nevermind that my ideas turn out to be wrong in the end.

It takes me 20 minutes just to stop being distracted and focus on the task at hand.
