Seems a bit draconian to force mob programming onto every programmer everyday, but I also find the idea appealing if I was selecting the team & when to do it -- there are definitely teams & topics where I would find this flow productive & helpful! For example, we had a similar arrangement back when we were doing ACM programming competitions.

In similar conditions, like Capture the Flag competitions, we regularly used short-term arrangements that might seem like mob programming, often by just deciding to go to whiteboard and try to figure out the problem and thus implicitly inviting others to join if they have spare cycles.
Wildly different experience compared to mob/pair programming all the time.
