> should be that CI isn’t doing anything you can’t do on developer machines

You should aim for this but there are some things that CI can do that you can't do on your own machine, for example running jobs on multiple operating systems/architectures. You also need to use CI to block PRs from merging until it passes, and for merge queues/trains to prevent races.



Yeah agreed, CI infra provides tons of value.

Ended up expanding this little quip into a blogpost to refer to in the future, feedback welcome! https://tech.davis-hansson.com/p/ci-offgrid/
