Description

A code retreat is typically a one day event where engineers organised themselves into pairs and had 45 minutes to solve a given challenge using a test-first approach

At the end of each session, everyone was brought back together to share insights into what was learned.

Then the same challenge was undertaken with engineers in different pairs.

NOTE: a pair was 2-3 people
