I think there's a great balance here in these environments:

- write tests as part of figuring out the implementation (basically: automate the random clicking you're doing to test things anyways)

- Make these tests really loose

- Just check them in

Being unprecious about test coverage means you just write a handful of "don't blow up" tests for features, that help you get the ball rolling and establish at least a baseline of functionality, without really getting in the way.
