Personally, I don't want to think about all this complexity. I just build simple web applications. I want a box in my basement that has everything production has - the whole thing, all the web services running all the time.

It ought to be possible in my mind. After all, there is really only one user: me. I just want to be able to automatically get the latest code that reservations team or order management system team or what have you deploys to production.

Why do I need to connect to VPN just to work on a stupid web application? None of the code we write has any special sauce in it and we can have fake data...
