have a buildbot/jenkins set up which runs your test suite on a buildslave automatically when you push to a git branch?

I would still run my editor locally (your pick. I use vim almost exclusively).

and do that for every project, even small throwaway experiments?

If it's a throwaway experiment, it shouldn't take too long to compile locally, I would think.
