I wager you try to hire people that fit your culture and would be very open to that kind of atmosphere in the first place ?

Mob programming is a tool that can be useful on some circumstances, but I'm really not sure I'd join a company where the team is crazily enjoying it all day.

We actually started it as a trial 1 week after hiring our last developer. I had to convince the team to try it and told them to give it 1 month to see how it worked, but everyone was 100% on board within the first week. We are hiring people now, and yes we are going to be hiring based off of willingness to program like this.

I wouldn’t want t program like that, but everyone is different and teams tend to hire for culture fit, and thus “thier style”
