Works On My Machine Syndrome

Works On My Machine Syndrome
debugging-memes, stackoverflow-memes, works-on-my-machine-memes, tech-support-memes, programming-humor-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The ultimate dad joke of debugging in one meme. Patient reports a symptom, and instead of investigating the actual problem, the doctor jumps to the most literal and useless conclusion possible: "I have the same hardware and mine works fine, so it must be YOUR fault."

This is basically every Stack Overflow answer where someone reports a bug and the response is "Works on my machine™" — the universal programmer's deflection technique that has solved exactly zero problems in the history of computing.
