Been building Jamcraft—a small indie game dev + learning community where we mob program, explore AI tools, and stream the chaos. Looking for a co-creator to help grow it into something bigger; studio, platform, who knows.
Games, curiosity, good vibes. DM if you're in 🎮💬

This is Ryan, another one of the Atomic Robot employees. If you're lucky enough to unlock this character, you can defeat the meter maids with your wonderful katana.

Taking breaks during mobbing isn’t slacking—it’s strategy. Stepping back lets teams reset, refocus, and avoid rabbit holes. Feeling stuck? Ask: “What’s our goal?” “Is this still the right problem?” Small pauses, big impact.

🪰 “I’ll just observe” sounds harmless, but in mob coding it’s an anti-pattern: harder to ask Qs, less learning, & off-timer chaos.

✅ Join the rotation.
✅ Welcome everyone in.

Mobs grow by including, not sidelining.
