It works on my machine

January 23rd, 2009

I am sure every developer should have said this atleast once in his life time.

“It works on my Machine”

Today was the day for one of my colleagues. One of the application he is working on is working fine on his machine but for some reason it does not work when it is moved to production. He was fed up with this strange issue and said “It works on my machine” There is a famous answer for this quote too.

But we aren’t shipping your machine to the customer

But my project manager gave a different answer.

Great! We will make your machine as the production server.

Here are some funny programming quotes

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.
Memory is like an orgasm. It’s a lot better if you don’t have to fake it.
If debugging is the process of removing software bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in.
Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it.
Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
