Functional Mob Programming

Details

Have you heard of mob programming and want to see what it's like in
practice? Mob programming is something which sounds massively inefficient, but has huge potential benefits for professional programmers and hobbyists alike!

For the unindoctrinated, mob programming has the following anatomy:
one computer, many programmers.

Why?

Because it enables people to learn, solve complicated problems
and produce higher quality code.

So let's take two fascinating things from the land of software:

  1. Functional Programming;
  2. Mob Programming;
    and turn our meetup into a supercharged evening of learning and
    improvement.

Here's what it takes to participate: you and, if you want, your code.

We'll all sit in front of one machine and use mob programming on some pet functional programming projects to take each other to the next level while we improve our code.

If you have a pet open-source project in a functional programming language that you would like us to look at and help improve, please post it in the comments below.

We have some options within hledger-flow to start with:
https://github.com/apauley/hledger-flow/issues/10
https://github.com/apauley/hledger-flow/issues/6

And from there we could pick another project, or pick another issue, or just refactor some of the issues we spotted.

Agenda:

  • 6:00pm ~ 6:30pm: drinks and snacks to keep us functional
  • 6:30pm: talk
  • 8pm: lights out
