The messaging around this should not be to tell people "always test

judge how good I'm at that.
One idea might be to give developers feedback on the consequences of a
particular push, e.g. the AWS cost, a proxy for "time during which
developers couldn't push" or some other measurable metric. Right now
each push probably "feels" as "expensive" as every other.
The AWS cost would be the wrong measure, since it doesn't account for
the amount of time that 100 other people spent grinding their teeth
because they could not push. :-) But yeah, I agree with the general
idea of a cost measure, I just can't think of what a good one would be
(well, one better than the wall-clock time...)
