It’s a question of feedback time and consistency: e.g. if you run Prettier/Ruff in CI, someone has to wait minutes rather than milliseconds and you either have to fix build failures or grant your CI system commit privileges and deal with merge conflicts. This also means more total CI runner usage while someone’s laptop probably has 10 idle cores.

If it’s on a pull/merge request, you’re wasting reviewer time.

If the hook is blocking secrets, you can’t un-push it with 100% certainty so you have to revoke credentials.

For texts, I tend to have the equivalent of “pytest tests/unit/“ since those are fast and a good sanity check, especially for things like refactoring.

I also run our pre-commit checks in CI for consistency so we’re never relying on someone’s local environment (web editors exist) and to keep everyone honest about their environment.
