Continuous integration

Editor's Notes

• #5: - game-- cooperative-- goal-oriented-- group rules- set limits of action- freedom within the rules continuation as a goal- maintainability/fun-factor
• #6: at a high level it’s easy to agree-no defects-easy to read-fun to work withhow to actually implement that-consistent style-automated testsrules need to work for the team-not working?-change-replace-removenot intended to punish, intended to empower-put everyone on equal footing-
• #7: -some rules can be automated--compilation--unit tests--static analysis--functional automated tests-automating this has upsides--quick--accurate--impartial--saves money by getting the feedback quicker-still only provides information--often quite unambiguous--sometimes, judgment call will need to be made
