Development environment Memes

Ah, the eternal developer mantra: "It works on my machine!" – the universal get-out-of-jail-free card that drives product managers to the brink of insanity. When your code is held together by duct tape, caffeine, and that specific arrangement of lucky rubber ducks on your desk, of course shipping the entire workstation seems like the only logical solution. Why bother with reproducible steps when you can just FedEx your entire development environment? The product manager's face is basically every non-technical person who's ever had to translate "it works on my machine" into actual customer support. Meanwhile, the reasonable developer on the right is that one team member who actually documents their code and doesn't rely on 47 undocumented environment variables to make their application run.

Someone forgot to update their production URL! The job posting asks candidates to send resumes to careers@localhost — essentially asking people to email their resumes to their own computers. That's like telling someone to mail a letter to "My House" with no address. The developer probably copy-pasted from their test environment and never updated it before going live. Four years of experience required but apparently none needed for whoever set up this job posting!
