Python-katas

Purpose?

This project has been done in order for us to train practicing good practices such as:

• Pair programming
• Mob programming
• TDD, tests pyramid
• Emerging design
• KISS, YAGNI and clean code practices
• Discuss team standards
• Put personal egos on the side
• others...

Tools to use it

Mob timer advance timers:

• online: https://mobti.me/
• on local: http://mobster.cc/

Role playing mob programming: https://github.com/willemlarsen/mobprogrammingrpg#readme

How?

Rotation time: 5 to 10 minutes. The more people in a mob, the shorter is better. Changing driver:

• IntelliJ Idea use code with me feature when in pair programming - for free usage
• Visual studio code - extension Live Share and Live Share Audio
• Push-pull when changing driver

Call:

• Google meet
• Zoom - Advantage you can give control to others

Roles at a basic level:

• driver - person taking care of typing the code
• navigator - person in charge of leading the discussion with the team and to decide in case of a conflict between team members
• timekeeper - person in charge of the timer

After an hour, having a micro retro is a good thing: (3 words)

• how did it feel?
• Return on time invested between 0 and 3?
• what did we do that I feel we should continue to do more of?
