The classic "it works on my machine" defense gets brutally dismantled by the PM's logic. Sure, your dev environment with its perfectly configured IDE, custom environment variables, and that one obscure dependency you installed six months ago works flawlessly. But the PM's got a point—shipping your entire workstation to production isn't exactly in the budget.
The developer's smug confidence crumbles faster than a Node.js app without error handling. Now they actually have to document their setup, figure out why it breaks everywhere else, and maybe—just maybe—learn what Docker is for. The PM sitting there like a boss knowing they just won the argument is chef's kiss.
Fun fact: This exact conversation is why containerization became a thing. Turns out "works on my machine" became such a meme that the entire industry built tools to make your machine everyone's machine.
