👉 The Rustic Mob

Want to learn Rust? Or perhaps practice your problem-solving or TDD skills? Or just want to enjoy some mob-programming sessions? We've got just the thing for you!

We hold mob-programming sessions where we use Rust to either solve Advent of Code problems or contribute to open source software. Come and join us!

Advent of Code problems start easy and gradually get more difficult as we solve more of them. It is a great way to learn a new programming language or to get introduced to mob programming!

We are currently at a point where we are working on Day 04 Part 1.

If possible, it would be tremendously helpful to take a look at the problem statements as well as our solutions repository on Github.

Some of us use Gitpod for a zero-setup IDE for collaborating on the code. If you would like to do the same, please keep a Github account handy for authentication.

You can also use your local development environment.

In either case you will need the [Mob.sh](https://github.com/remotemobprogramming/mob) tool for Git branch handover. We will walk you through the use of any tools.

👩👨 About mob programming:

"How can we work together as a team without waiting, distraction, interruption, or multitasking?" -- Woody Zuill, the discoverer of ensemble (aka mob) programming

Software development is a team sport and mob-programming can be one way to improve team collaboration and reduce waste.

The Wikipedia page on mob-programming has more detailed information.

✅ Everybody is welcome, from all walks of life, no matter who and where you are, no matter if you have tried mob-programming or are curious to try it for the first time. Whether you are new to Rust or not. And it doesn't matter if you have been programming for decades or are just getting started.

We make it a rule that this is a constructive space.

We follow the Rust code of conduct, so take a moment to read it.
