Yes you can't really debug CI specific stuff locally, like if your setting up build caching or something. But it seems like 90%+ of the time people are complaining about builds/tests that should have local feedback loops.
Yeah, fair point, I see that a lot in the wild too. I guess I kind of assumed we all here had internalized the practice of isolating everything into one command that runs remotely, like "make test" or whatever, rather than what some people do and put entire shellscripts-but-yaml in their pipeline configs.
Yeah everytime I see logic in YAML I cringe. Trying at work to get people to use a task runner or even call out to scripts was a fight...
