If your tests don't do anything, there's no point in having them. I'd like to share an example app in which I create a bash script that runs my unit tests via PhantomJS. By utilizing a Git pre-commit hook, I ensure my unit tests are run EVERY TIME I touch my code, and (best of all) it won't allow me to commit code that doesn't pass my tests!

I always enjoy peeking into the thought process behind an application because you never know when you're going to learn something useful. As someone who takes an immense amount of pride in my profession, I strongly believe that education should never stop because someone will always do something better than you. At the very least, reading someone else's code will trigger ideas of your own. That being said, code reviews are sometimes fun... but more often frustrating.
