SILICON VALLEY — A landmark (and imaginary) ruling has declared that the phrase “It works on my machine” is now a legally binding defense for developers worldwide. The court ruled that if code runs in the local environment, the problem is officially “someone else’s drama.”
For decades, Full Stack Developers have been persecuted by QA teams and Project Managers claiming that “bugs” exist in production. This ruling finally vindicates the coding community.
The “Matrix” Defense
According to the latest Stack Overflow Developer Survey, nearly 70% of professional developers code as a hobby, meaning their local setups are often more powerful than the servers they deploy to. The court noted this disparity, stating: “You cannot blame the artist if the gallery has bad lighting.”
Celebrating the Victory
In honor of this ruling, we are seeing a spike in sales for our specific “Works on My Machine” certification badge (printed on a t-shirt, naturally). It is the perfect attire for your next code review or deployment disaster.
