Mob programming (informally mobbing) is a software development approach where the whole team works on the same thing, at the same time, in the same space, and at the same computer. This is similar to pair programming where two people sit at the same computer and collaborate on the same code at the same time. With mob programming, the collaboration is extended to everyone on the team, while still using a single computer for writing the code and inputting it into the code base. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mob_programming (more)

Steve Yegge: Opinion: Your biggest problem right now is denial. A hurricane is coming. Well… it’s really more like a “tsunami that hits everyone at once” in terms of overall destruction — except that you only get a few hours warning for a tsunami, whereas we had months of warning for this. When a hurricane is coming, what do you do? It’s just plain common sense: you tell people well in advance, you give them time to prepare, you facilitate the preparations and defenses, yadda yadda....All the people who know what’s really going on — that is, what’s really going to happen if the world doesn’t wake up quickly — are in broad consensus. Epidemiologists, ER doctors and nurses, university researchers, pandemic experts: The people who have actual on-the-ground expertise with this exact situation, are all saying the same thing. It is a Prophecy. (He has since deleted this page.) (more)
