Thanks, that's what I suspected! That makes sense, the "constantly moving around having side-conversations and whiteboarding things" being a good part of it.

After reading your description, I could see myself liking in-person mobbing too, and it really being a different thing than "pairing" (which I don't love)... but trying to do it remote sounds nightmarish to me personally.

Bear in mind it needs to take place in an environment where people trust each other and feel safe. Nothing kills the mood faster than someone saying something like "that's a stupid idea Steve, what's wrong with you?" I definitely think remote group programming is possible, but I reckon it'd be really hard to get right _starting_ remote, and it'd never be quite as good as in person is.
