The real joke was the pain that every developer feels when the end user gives such useful and actionable feed back as “It broke. Fix. Unga bunga.”

“It works on my machine” is trying to be polite when, after hours and hours of trying to teach a person how to report a bug with necessary information, all they ever get is “It broke. Fix. Unga bunga.”

No, “it works on my machine” is the ever-tiring excuse every junior dev gives when they’re inexperienced enough to not understand that environments differ and just because yours is setup to run your code, doesn’t mean you did everything right so that an end-user can also run it. Did you package VCredist? Did you update the environment? Are you using another fucking compiler for some retarded 25-year-old’s reason instead of the one we use on our production server, so now every build is failing because you didn’t hold a review and pushed to master?

“It works on my machine” is spoken as if it should end all debugging. Goddamn, if it works on your machine and it doesn’t work on another machine, that’s a great clue. That’s where your debugging begins.

Wow.

You sound angry. And quite outdated.
