+While practising pair programming for several years now at AOE, we have started using
+[remote mob programming](https://www.remotemobprogramming.org/) extensively when 
+switching to remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic.
+
+Mob programming brings the driver/navigator pattern to another level by adding a group
+of navigators into the game. With the whole development team focussing on a single
+topic, a lot of common understanding and shared knowledge are being generated during
+each session as everyone is involved in the development process. The result will be
+less controversial code reviews (which might even be completely omitted) and the
+evolution of a team coding style in favor of individual ways of problem-solving.
+
+In practice, we found the Git-based [mob](https://github.com/remotemobprogramming/mob)
+as an easy-to-use tool for remote mob programming. It provides a fast and simple way
+for initiating a mob session, handing over changes to the next person and committing
+the outcome.
