Thanks for the comment: your frustration is the default in the industry, and it's part of the reasons why Bauplan was built.

"but it always takes forever and I'm never even able to articulate why." -> there are way more factors at play than DoFeatures unfortunately, see for example Table 1 (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2404.13682). Even knowing which data people have developed on is hard, which is why bauplan has git-for-data semantics built in: everyone works on production data, but safely and reliably, to avoid data skews.

Each computer is different, which is why bauplan adopt FaaS with isolated and fully containerized functions: you are always in the cloud, so no skew in the infra etc.

The problem of "going to production" is still the biggest issue in the industry, and solving it is not a one-fix kind of thing, but unfortunately the combination of good ergonomics, new abstractions and reliable infra.
