How big is the mob? I don't think you want to do this 20 or more programmers (the more people you have, the more formalized communication structures you typically need).

I could imagine this working with four or five people, and I'd be worth the experiment, but I don't think I'd want to do it all the time.

(Author here) The team in this post was six when we started, four now (five if you count our coach who's actually worming himself into the mob now ;) ).

I would definitely not do this with 20. Then again I really wouldn't want to work in a team of 20 no matter the method.
