Ensemble Tip 10: Writing a Test List helps an Ensemble align on how to build something test-first. It supports deliberate, focused practice—the kind often seen in disciplined, high-performing teams. #CodeCraftWeekends #SocialProgramming #EnsembleProgramming #PairProgramming

Join us at #CodeCraftWeekends for real-world experience. It's ONLINE and FREE, but seating is limited: https://t.co/F7JE8ru73O

Ensemble Tip 9: Discovery Trees support iterative, incremental exploration. As an Ensemble builds the tree together, they make their thinking visible—fostering shared ownership, better alignment, and faster decision-making. #CodeCraftWeekends #EnsembleProgramming

Ensemble Tip 8: Honoring Strong Style (Ensemble Tip 3) forces us to act deliberately and share knowledge as we go. Our knowledge as a group grows constantly when we work this way, making the Ensemble stronger and more effective each day. #CodeCraftWeekends #EnsembleProgramming

Ensemble Tip 11: Curiosity needs safety to grow. When an Ensemble welcomes questions and uncertainty, it unlocks learning and shared insight. #CodeCraftWeekends #SocialProgramming #EnsembleProgramming #PairProgramming Image courtesy of: Brooke Cagle via Unsplash

Mobbing Tip 4: The Driver is a Smart Input Device. The Driver does not satisfy their own curiosity, they take the Primary Navigator's intent and turn that into code. #CodeCraftWeekends #SocialProgramming #MobProgramming #EnsembleProgramming #PairProgramming

Ensemble Tip 6: When an ensemble applies strong style, Ensemblists are not Navigators. Drivers ignore Ensemblists' requests, taking direction only from the Navigator. #CodeCraftWeekends #SocialProgramming #EnsembleProgramming #PairProgramming

Mobbing Tip 5: If only the Driver knows enough to act as Navigator, make the Driver the Navigator. Doing otherwise goes against Mobbing Tip 3 - Use Strong Style. #CodeCraftWeekends #SocialProgramming #MobProgramming #EnsembleProgramming #PairProgramming

Ensemble Tip 7: Ensemblists collaborate with the Navigator. The Driver abstains and waits for direction from the Navigator. This amplifies quieter voices, supporting shared ownership and working against group think. #CodeCraftWeekends #SocialProgramming #EnsembleProgramming

Mobbing Tip 3: Use the "Strong Style" approach from @LlewellynFalco: For an idea to go from your head into the computer, it MUST go through someone else's hands. #CodeCraftWeekends #SocialProgramming #MobProgramming #EnsembleProgramming #PairProgramming
