Is it still the norm to go to the dev's office, yank their power cord and when they ask what we're doing, tell them we're shipping their machine to the client because it's the only one that the code runs on?

And can we do that with whatever server ChatGPT-4o is running on?

I'm assuming that this response from 4o isn't real and was invented for the laugh, but it would be tempting to throw this scenario at it if it decided to give this response.

The real joke was the pain that every developer feels when the end user gives such useful and actionable feed back as "It broke. Fix. Unga bunga."

"It works on my machine" is trying to be polite when, after hours and hours of trying to teach a person how to report a bug with necessary information, all they ever get is "It broke. Fix. Unga bunga."
