In my experience, that’s rare. Everywhere I’ve worked had devs working on code directly on their laptops.

My experience is the opposite:

I haven’t worked somewhere we ran code locally in a long, long time. Your IDE is local, but the testing is remote — typically in an environment where you can match the runtime environment more closely (eg, ensuring the same dependencies, access to cloud resources, etc).

isn't that just CI?

does that mean you will never compile it or build it locally?

don't 99% of people just use docker nowadays to have all that environment matches?
