Rubocop is great! Hound is built on top of it.

We've tried putting style violations in the build and found there are enough edge cases that it isn't exactly the interaction we've wanted. Sometimes, we want the human to say "no, my pair and I broke the guideline on purpose and we're okay with it in this case." We don't want a broken build in those cases.

Totally agree with you about getting feedback earlier than opening a PR, though. Linters integrated into text editors are a great way to go.
