    Everything fine with the message, but boy! It's really annoying the noise he makes with that plastic wrapper in his hands...

    I attended Agile2013 and was present (not in the picture) with this same group. I tell the story about the young girl hanging out with her dad at the conference, but then getting involved with the Mobbing! I took this concept back to my team and we eventually used it when a major refactor became necessary. Cool part was that a we had a new team member (1 week in). After the mobbing session ( a couple of days to do the refactor), he was up to speed and understood the entire system.
