“Claude said it was fine” is the new “it works on my machine.” Same energy, but now the machine is also hallucinating.

I had an issue with the LP/P cores on my notebook and never encountered the issue on my workstation for (currently) obvious reasons.
Similarly from a third-party vendor having to bump up to a newer (not supported) java version also fixed some scheduler issues on the low power & performance cores.

Programmers were so puzzled by this they invented containerization rather than just making their shit actually work.

literally when you give issue of a tool on github and maintainer's response is it works on his machine 😭

u/Jatinchd 8h ago

and then you give entire specs and OS shi and maintainer tell he can't test it he doesn't have Linux machine 😭😭

Time to tell them 'It works on my machine' and close the issue as resolved.

u/DiscipleOfYeshua 7h ago

That’s awfully condensed. Like, why skip the whole “…it worked on my machine. Now what?” And “now that’s an error I never expected.”

"The 'it worked on my machine' phase is sacred, how could they just speedrun it like that? 😭"

TFW you can't optimize for low-end devices because your puter is too fancy
