Amongst programmers this excuse must rank up there with other famous excuses like “It’s not you, it’s me” and “sorry, I guess I didn’t get reception.” When ever I hear a developer explain away broken builds, compilation errors, or bugs with “it works on my machine” I usually answer with one of the following replies, depending on my mood.

  • Oh, are going to ship your machine to the client.
  • Do you want all of us to work on your machine.
  • Yeah, so fix it on my machine!
You Break It, You Buy It

You Break It, You Buy It
