I’m trying to imagine a world where I knew about mob-programming before I picked a college; before I picked a major. It’s a world where I would have known that not all software developers hibernate in a cubicle writing their own code all day; where some Software Engineers actively collaborate on interfaces, knowledge sharing, and training. Software Engineering (or Computer Science as it was called then) would have sounded much more interesting.
Would I have switched from Chemical Engineering if my college Pascal class had group programming assignments? Would I have skipped my first career entirely?
I look forward to giving young people the chance to choose for themselves.
