Probably my best experience was when I was given a vm running somewhere. I could sync the remote folders to my own computer, but any change I made on that machine would trigger a build. I could also request ops to send traffic to that machine, and I'd get some mirrored production traffic. I just used git in my home folder and it "just worked." Code reviews were pretty simple; the folder/file in the code review matched what was in your home folder. It was pretty nice with a good .gitignore setup, so you could have your own dotfiles on the vm. There were also some really good scripts (you shared them by branch `git checkout jims-scripts -- ./scripts` or by commit—you didn't need review to commit new script files, but it was encouraged).
