Indicate your build status with programmable light bulbs

Hi, I wrote Lightbuild.

BlinkStick looks great, but for us, the main advantage of using the Hue bulbs is that the entire team is instantly alerted when the build breaks (the blinking definitely helps!). I'm not sure it would have quite the same effect if it was a comparatively small LED plugged into a single dev's monitor.

Next step: dim the house lights and redlight the desk lamp in the cube of the person that broke the build. Add a Battlestar Galactica-type klaxon alarm for extra fun.

Nice first step but ver 2.0 should have Kevo door locks. Maybe not on the fire exits, but the office fridge or microwave.
