"They take too long to write!" "I don't know how
to write them" "My code is perfect"

Teach by doing
This was always my main motivation with Hubot - teaching
by doing by making this visible. It's an extremely powerful teaching technique. - @rtomayko
Signal vs Noise
Next Steps
Easy to run tests
More tests get wrien
Or collaborate
What's the state of the Pull Request?
