This is probably a good time for me to put on my Hat of Philikon and echo this, 
but stronger: nobody should be landing features without tests, so *everyone* 
needs to have a test environment that works, and there's no glamorous path that 
involves not touching Robocop or JUnit... even during a hackathon. Of course a 
project branch starts with more breakage, but that doesn't eliminate the need 
for tests.

Arguably this is even more important during a hackathon, because in wiring up 
my feature I'm probably going to break yours.

Thanks, Margaret, for doing so much leg work to make that feasible rather than 
a distant ideal!
