Not if you've got your CI configured properly.

Not in my experience. If it's in your local build, it also needs to be in CI. Otherwise mistakes can easily slip through.

Any dev who doesn't want CI is a bad dev, end of conversation.

CI doesn't imply CI with testing.

Isn't this the idea behind CI/CD wotkflows?

saagarjha May 20, 2024 View on HN

Wait, why? Seems like a bad thing to do in CI?

qwertytyyuu Aug 20, 2025 View on HN

Wait a CI isn't supposed to be a build system that also runs tests?

wojciii Sep 17, 2025 View on HN

How is that even possible?Wasn't CI invented to solve just this problem?

It depends on your CI setup. Something like GitHub actions or Gitlab CI are going to be heavily impacted.

they did more than just CICD but I see your point.
