+  Who's Travis? Are they a new member of the team?
+---
+
+I remember seeing a talk or listening to a podcast during which they mentioned Travis, as in the CI pipeline tool, and some of the things they were using it for.
+
+They also said that their client thought Travis was a person on their team.
+
+In some ways, having a CI pipeline performing automated checks and tests is like having another team member.
+
+Instead of waiting for a person to manually check code styles, run tests and spot potential bugs, why not automate them and run them in the CI pipeline every time code changes are pushed?
+
+You'll get results sooner than waiting for a person do check the code by hand and, arguably, more consistent results.
+
+Then, if you do peer code reviews, you know the basics are already done and the reviewer can focus on other things.
