#WorksOnMyMachine
The progressive commitment levels to fixing someone's computer problems:
1) Verbal
2) Screen-pointing and shoulder-surfing
3) Both arms in parallell onto desk
4) Pulling up an office chair, optional audible exhalation
5) Elbow lean and increased rate of "hmm" per minute
0) "Works on my machine"

Odd #worksonmymachine #iconv w/ TRANSLIT behavior in #PHP when the `locale` on local #ddev and remote #github #action @meshivammathur @setup_php was set to `C.UTF-8`; setting LC_ALL on the remote #ci-container did the trick. #ubuntu

honestly i don't think anything will top mpv. it's already good enough & always ran squeaky clean (#worksonmymachine yes i know)
everything else just relies on ffmpeg upstream and your own scripting/coding expertise for niche use cases. correct me if i'm wrong though i'm not up to date on things

“Every developer has heard this before… 😅
If it works on your machine, it must work everywhere, right?
Welcome to debugging reality.”

Code works on local.
Code breaks on server.
Me: “Impossible.”
Server: “Hold my environment variables.”

"When you're in a hole, stop digging."

After three days of trying to figure out why API calls are being rejected when I deploy my app, I'm taking a break!

The dreaded "it works on my machine" excuse. 🤦‍♂️ Reality check: 1. Test environments are key. 2. Dockerize everything. 3. Blame the cloud. #DevLife #TechHumor #WorksOnMyMachine
