The problem isn't CI/CD; the problem is "programming in configuration". We've somehow normalized a dev loop that involves `git commit -m "try fix"`, waiting 10 minutes, and repeating. Local reproduction of CI environments is still the missing link for most teams.

These tool fails are as a consequence of a failure of proper policy.
Tooling and Methodology!
Here’s the thing: build it first, then optimize it. Same goes for compile/release versus compile/debug/test/hack/compile/debug/test/test/code cycles.
That there is not a big enough distinction between a development build and a release build is a policy mistake, not a tooling ‘issue’.
Set things up properly and anyone pushing through git into the tooling pipeline are going to get their fingers bent soon enough, anyway, to learn how the machine mangles digits.
You can adopt this policy of environment isolation with any tool - it’s a method.

* you have any remote resources that are needed during build
