I strongly believe, that local dev is a must and the entire system (or at least the part needed to start working on any given microservice) should be runnable on a laptop, no matter how big it is. Sure, there might be a need to mock S3 with Minio, or a payment gateway with some handwritten stub in one-file Python webservice, but that's how it should be.
I've seen lazy devs ignore the underlying issue, and then just push over and over broken code and wait 10-15 min for CI to push new version to the evironment. It's maddening.
