When your app is really 50 microservices, or one really big monolith, there's no great way to run it locally. And if you have one single job that takes up more RAM than you have, or requires tons of parallel CPU, the laptop is a bottleneck. And heaven forbid your corporate overlords saddle you with horrible virus-scanning crap or mandatory HTTP proxies with custom certs... A lot of this will be solved if the people making our OSes ever decide to build a real distributed OS (either SSI or something more like P9). The OS is supposed to make programs easier. Why we keep trying to reinvent the wheel inside every application, and tie them together with duct tape, I don't know.
