How often is this even feasible though? sure if there's little difference between the PR branch and whatever the last build I've done is, it wont take too long to build but then I have to install our product and get it set up to test. We have a ton of legacy code that isn't easily testable. We do have a CI build but it takes like ~6 hours to build.

This is why fast-to-compile languages have become critical for me. Working in Go means that I can make reviews that I can feel confident in.
