The problem is sharing credit. What is the incentive for a good developer to share credit with a bad developer especially when the don't like each other?
If you do mob programming how would you know who is making contribution and who is slacking and how to rate the performance.

For a good reason. In my experience great developers don't mind helping out but they expect to be recognized which is fair.
- TameAntelope 5y agoIf you're a developer who cares about taking credit for work on a team, the very next thing you should do is figure out how to stop being a developer who cares about taking credit for work on a team, and basically nothing else.
- phendrenad2 5y agoThat doesn't work in the real world. In the real world, you'll encounter other people who try to take credit for a team effort. If your solution is to stop what you're doing and spend 100% of your time trying to figure out how to not care about it, you'll go homeless and starve before coming up with a realistic solution.
