I do a little bit of a lot of things. Some of those things are code. I enjoy thinking about how the world and technology interact, and how technology affects the way people interact with each other.
It should help speed your builds up, but it's not going to be a magic bullet. It will help with downloading and resolving dependencies, but any compiling, code transforms, test runs, etc. probably won't change much, if at all. So your gains won't be drastic with pnpm alone.
It sounds like what you need is a tool like Nx or Turborepo. Both tools allow you to define builds in steps and cache steps as you go, and I'm pretty sure both allow for cached steps to be shared between dev and ci environments also. (I know turborepo does) These tools are designed for monorepo's though so if you have a monolith going, you might need to tease some modules into separate packages to see a real benefit. I've been hearing a LOT about both on the podcast circuit but haven't tried either on my own yet.
