A lot of this is a symptom of CIs being deliberately dumb to avoid being wrong, and our workflows being shit. Fuck the CI, the velocity is quite bad just from the programmers machine. One small thing that arcanist (random example) does that raw git does not is making it very "automatic" to make a really simple change to some code. Even theoretically very trivial things like guessing which files you meant to add to the commit can be a real time saver. In fact, contrary to what I just wrote, it's not even entirely about time - a lot of this is really about mental context switching. (Also it's not universally true that you need re-approval)
