Tests
"They take too long to write!"
"They take too long to write!" "I don't know how
to write them"

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
Take a deep breath
Easy to run tests

Don't bother me
Keep Deploying. Keep Building. Do it Faster & Safer.
