The universal developer escape hatch strikes again! Nothing quite captures the cold sweat of a PM meeting like when they ask why the app is crawling like a turtle in molasses, and you're sitting there knowing full well it's probably because you're running it locally with 32GB RAM while production has the computing power of a toaster. The classic "works on my machine" defense is basically the developer equivalent of a kid saying "wasn't me" with chocolate all over their face. At this point, we should just start shipping our laptops to customers instead of code.
