Founder of Depot here. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I couldn’t agree more. It’s always felt odd to me that the entire performance of CI is pretty much pushed out of the primitives and requires an immense amount of custom bash scripts and the like. That kind of flexibility isn’t inherently bad. But there should be primitives that are fast by design baked into the system as well.
Parallel steps is one of those things that unlocks a lot when it’s baked into the system.
