The mob wins

What I learned today — 16 April 2018

When your team mate says, “Hey, I can’t figure this out, will you put a second pair of eyes on this?”, you’re probably dealing with the high level of abstraction (colloquially, “magic”) of an advanced framework like the Spring framework. Call a mob. With some guys saying, “I know this”, or, “I can see that”, or simply, “Why is..?”, while others are tinkering and experimenting and yet another just figured out the perfect search terms to put into Google, you’re bound to solve the problem a lot faster than any one or two of you on their own.
