How do you scale an agile team without sacrificing collaboration, flow, or developer experience? In this episode of the Mob Mentality Show, we’re joined by Brice Ruth—engineering leader at Flexion and ensemble programming advocate—for a deep dive into what it takes to build high-functioning, adaptable software teams through a concept he calls “mob meiosis.” We explore Brice’s journey from solo coding to full-time mob programming, and how his experience in the industry and in government contracts shaped his philosophy on team dynamics, learning cultures, and system design. If you’re looking for actionable insights into building fast feedback loops, enhancing developer onboarding, or evolving your mob into multiple autonomous mobs, this is the episode you don’t want to miss. 🔍 What you’ll learn: What “mob meiosis” is and how it enables team scaling without silos How to engineer feedback loops that operate across code, communication, and team structure Why ensemble programming improves developer flow, learning, and job satisfaction Lessons from transitioning into mobbing full-time—and how to make it sustainable Tips for fostering a culture where pairing, mobbing, and continuous improvement thrive Whether you’re an agile coach, engineering manager, or developer looking to elevate your team’s practices, Brice brings a sharp, experience-backed perspective on what it means to lead with feedback, prioritize team health, and scale with purpose. 🎙️ Subscribe to the Mob Mentality Show for more episodes on ensemble programming, agile culture, and modern software team dynamics.Video and Show Notes: https://youtu.be/W0eJFMzbBME
