This thread makes me wonder if the root of the problem is actually the lack of a local runner. I hypothesize that it's the length of the feedback loop that's the real issue. Even if we had a local runner, if it takes a ton of time to start and complete every step, it'd be almost as painful to debug as a remote runner taking the same time. On the other hand, if the cloud runner is ridiculously fast, and completes steps on the order of single digit seconds, it would be fairly painless to debug.

Not really. I mean yes my dev machine is faster than the CI runner, so things do run faster, but even assuming the CI runner was just as beefy and picked up the job immediately instead of taking 10ish seconds it's still the difference between When running remotely: edit file > commit > push > switch to browser > browse to pipeline > repeat Vs locally: edit file > run pipeline > repeat.
