Remote Mob Programming in a High Stakes Environment
summary
Remote mob programming delivers a production backend for the England and Wales COVID self‑isolation payment gateway on a cut schedule — under four weeks against an eight‑week estimate — with a five‑developer core plus specialists across five countries and three time zones. Tools stitched together include IntelliJ Code With Me, Terraform & AWS and Slack/Teams/Tuple; practices are strict automation, tests and trunk‑based development. The system meets hard accessibility and security requirements, passes penetration testing the night before launch, and deploys on time to high quality.
