If the dev machine is the fastest horse and the dev is waiting on the CI, wouldn’t it make more sense to have an option that optionally self-hosts the CI process on the dev machine when desired?

I could be wrong but I’m concerned about the business thesis. Even if more cloud speed is the answer, GitHub can add this and at a lower cost, and for as long as it matters, lower margin.

Perhaps the CI speed is just an attack vector for the dev ops market in general.
