It Works On My Computer
The true developer search history we desperately hide from prying eyes. While normies worry about their partners finding dating apps, we're frantically clearing searches like "how to name variables without using profanity" and "why does my code only work at 2:37 PM on Tuesdays." The dependency hell search is particularly savage - that special place where your project depends on library A which needs library B version 2.1 but also library C which refuses to work with anything but library B version 1.8. It's basically relationship drama but with packages instead of people.

The Four Horsemen Of Developer Excuses
The four horsemen of developer excuses, all deployed when your code mysteriously stops working in production. Option D is the programmer's equivalent of shrugging while slowly backing away from responsibility. "Works on my machine" has launched more Docker containers than any sales pitch ever could. The real answer should be E: "Let me check the logs and get back to you in 3-5 business days while I panic internally and question my career choices."

How Docker Was Born
Every developer has uttered those fateful words: "It works on my machine!" – the universal excuse when code mysteriously fails elsewhere. Then some genius had the audacity to suggest, "What if we just shipped the entire machine?" and Docker containers were born. Instead of spending hours debugging environment differences, we now spend hours debugging Docker configuration files. Progress! The circle of developer suffering continues, just with fancier terminology and cooler logos.

The Four Horsemen Of Debugging Excuses
The four horsemen of the debugging apocalypse. Nothing quite captures the desperation of a developer staring at broken code like these classic lines. My personal favorite is "it worked yesterday" – as if code spontaneously decides to rebel overnight. Pro tip: saying "that's weird" automatically summons a senior developer who will fix it by standing behind you and watching you try again.

The Self-Service Bug Fix
The ultimate self-service experience. Nothing quite like the pride of a tester who discovers they can fix their own bugs instead of filing a ticket and waiting six sprints for someone to look at it. That dog walking itself is basically QA saying "Fine, I'll do it myself" after the third time a dev responded with "works on my machine." The circle of software development life.

We Are Not So Different, You And I...
The eternal developer paradox: finding a perfect Stack Overflow solution for your C# problem, only to discover it's actually from the Java subforum. The real magic happens when you copy-paste it anyway and—against all laws of programming physics—it somehow works. That moment when you realize language barriers are just suggestions and your code is held together by digital duct tape and sheer audacity.
