It Works On My Machine Actual
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.

Docker gets real smug when someone says "works on my machine" because that's literally its entire pitch deck. The containerization messiah swoops in to save the day from environment inconsistencies, only to get absolutely humiliated when it realizes it also just "works on my machine." Turns out Docker didn't solve the problem—it just became the problem with extra steps and a YAML file. Now you've got Docker working perfectly on your laptop while your teammate's setup implodes because their WSL2 decided to have an existential crisis, or someone's running an M1 Mac and suddenly every image needs a different architecture. The irony is chef's kiss level: the tool designed to eliminate "works on my machine" syndrome becomes patient zero.

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.
