Mob programming is one of those beautiful counter-intuitives you run into in technology development. It solves many problems, the main one being that it's extremely easy in technology to seem to have agreement on something, only for there to be tons of various ways of interpreting stuff when you actually execute. When you mob, you force the team not only to come to agreements on working patterns in general, but to come to agreement on them at the lowest level of detail. And that's just one of the things it does. It's not a panacea, but it manages to do a lot of various things that might take a long time and do them immediately.
