i was very resistant to removing it too, fwiw. I thought it wouldn't actualy solve any problems and we should instead optimize our test suite, etc. But this reasons to remove were just too strong.

23 commits and 6 hours to get a test passing from a new location in a GitHub workflow. I know this isn't just me. This is the kind of stuff drowning the software industry and its average professionals.

Cut p50 CI time in half over the last 3 months, and there is still so much room for improvement.

Spending ~15 days of compute time every day building services. About 12% of that is for actual deployments, the rest is pre-merge as a quality check. We need to cache the built docker image somehow.

Another optimization for CI where we were using `npx datadog-cli` twice, replaced with curling the CLI instead. From 30s every run to 1s. The amount of low hanging fruit is incredible to me.

Digging into CI data and noticed that over the last week, we've spent more time reporting to datadog about test runs than actually running tests or typecheck. The good news is that this should be easily optimizable.
