Nix-based CI can get really nice caching once you set it up properly. This is a run where none of the actual code changes. Only slow thing is the "nix develop" which builds the dev environment. It spends all it's time downloading from a remote cache. But once I move this to a self-hosted runner, then that cache can exist locally on the machine and this will also take just a few seconds.
None of this tooling depends on GitHub's way of doing things, which is nice. No vendor lockin.
