Do you program, as a duo, a mob or by yourself?
When I worked at marketing companies, I usually programmed by myself. I've seen others try pair programming and at times programming as a mob. Either of these could work, but I am curious to have you tried or disliked any in particular.
What do you think? Would you try pair programming or mobbing, or would you rather work by yourself?

I can't say I've encountered a situation where pair or mob programming is the defacto method of development; I've only ever programmed solo and would engage in pair or mob programming for educational purposes only.
Agreed.
In real work situations, I've seen that the number of developers working on a task generally has an inversely proportional relationship to both the quality of work produced, and the time taken to build it.
Programming is ultimately a solo activity, and really does work best that way.
