The "It Works on My Machine" Certification

Description

A humorous take on the classic developer excuse, this image portrays a certificate of completion. The certificate, in a formal font, awards the recipient the '"It works on my machine" certification'. This meme satirizes the frequent and often frustrating situation where a developer cannot reproduce a bug that is occurring in a testing or production environment. It's a relatable joke for any developer who has ever closed a ticket only to have it reopened with the dreaded comment, 'Still not working in production.' The humor lies in formalizing this common informal excuse into a recognized 'achievement'

I’ll take a 30-line polyfill over a 300-node Blueprint any day; at least Git blame can highlight a line instead of asking me to untangle a Jackson-Pollock merge conflict

Visual programming: where "it's self-documenting" means you need a 4K monitor and a PhD in graph theory to trace a simple null check

Blueprint systems are like microservices architecture - they promise to make everything modular and easy to understand, but after six months of production changes, you're staring at a distributed monolith where tracing a single execution path requires a PhD in graph theory and a bottle of aspirin. At least with text-based code, your spaghetti stays in one dimension and grep still works

I grew up with grep, not zip ties - Git can diff code; reviewing a node graph is just cable management with a runtime

Give me Object.assign and a diff; Blueprints scale as O(n^2) edges and resolve merge conflicts via screenshots

What’s on the right screen?

  probably visual script of a game engine

  There's no need as long as you don't want to reproduce this mess in your project
  
  @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 3y
  
  I want an 1:1 clone
  
  @callofvoid0 3y
  
  or to recheck before release
  
  @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 3y
  
  😂😂😂💀
  
  @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 3y
  
  Btw don’t worry I do game development in C++/CX UWP just because I can
  
  Deleted Account 3y
  
  What's CX tho
  
  @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 3y
  
  A Microsoft fork of C++ that could be a meme

  "Microsoft fork" is a meme itself lol
  
  @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 3y
  
  Hahhahah true

  Not just could be, it is! Lemme find it and post it
  
  @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 3y
  
  Look at the doc that explains what you have to use instead of the classic c++ keywords

  @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 3y
  
  Imagine Microsoft would just replace the new keyword with “ms-new”

  Bruh they now recommend a new shit called c++/winrt Can't they just stop adding cringe postfixes to c++ like it doesn't have one already ???
  
  @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 3y
  
  Hahahhahahhaha yeah CX was not liked because how many changes it had
  
  Deleted Account 3y
  
  Yeah it surely has somewhat weird syntax even being compared to c++
  
  @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 3y
  
  Yeah I am just coding in it because I have a curiosity of float.infinity
  
  @RiedleroD 3y
  
  UWP is still incompatible with wine :(
  
  @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 3y
  
  Yeah I doubt it will ever be fully compatible
  
  @RiedleroD 3y
  
  oh, it definitely will be. It'll just take a long time.

  As a proud linux citizen i can doubtlessly say "Fuck uwp and ms office"
  
  @RiedleroD 3y
  
  yeah, but I'd still like to play Asphalt 8 on my laptop :(
  
  Deleted Account 3y
  
  Well you could play its mobile version through smth like waydroid/anbox
  
  @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 3y
  
  Me as a UWP dev saying UWP is amazingly modern and in theory Microsoft could port it to Linux and other platforms
  
  @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 3y
  
  At some point I even saw an environment property that would retrieve wether your OS uses / or \ or something completely custom
  
  Deleted Account 3y
  
  Okay let's just agree on "fuck ms"
  
  Deleted Account 3y
  
  (I hate milliseconds)
  
  @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 3y
  
  😂😂😂😂💀
  
  @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 3y
  
  I agree and don’t forget office
  
  Deleted Account 3y
  
  I hate ms office bcs ms devs somehow made it less compatible with wine than anything else. Tho i believe that ms software in general is terribly incompatible with wine bcs forza horizon 4 crashes every 10-15 minutes
  
  @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 3y
  
  As far as I know MS Office actually has a custom UWP XAML branch that renders their shit
  
  @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 3y
  
  So its not even using what UWP has but borrowed and modified it
  
  @frayxrulez 3y
  
  Do you use Unigram?
  
  @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 3y
  
  On mobile only why?
  
  @frayxrulez 3y
  
  I made it
  
  @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 3y
  
  I know I should be in one of the Unibeta groups
  
  @frayxrulez 3y
  
  Cool!

Btw on the left picture is pre-es6 js code so it's not the best option either

FH4 and MS Office are the worst in terms of working in wine in my experience
1. Deleted Account 3y
  
  "Why use MS Office at all didn't linux mega minds create an office software suite" there's plenty of office software for linux like libreoffice, onlyoffice etc. But none of them includes software for working with shitty MS Access forms and i had to bcs of my uni
@Dark_Embrace 3y

I opened comments to see Full-HD version of the project on the right or a similar one. And, oh, boy, I'm disappointed.
@keeborgue 3y

I am on this image and I find it offensive

  get out of the image and it will be neutral
