It works on my laptop

Using environment continuity to improve developer productivity.

I’m sure we’ve all heard it before: “it works on my laptop but not when it’s deployed!”

This can be very frustrating for a developer.

The code is the same, but the environments are different.

Improving continuity between local development and production environments will significantly improve developer productivity.

It is a complete waste for developers to spend hours and hours trying to troubleshoot why their code doesn’t work in production.

That’s time that they would otherwise be delivering business value.

Disjointed environments also breed bugs.

Lots of ’em.

Gross.

These bugs lead to outages, security issues, customer disruption, and more.

If you are starting down the path of improving developer productivity, focusing on environment continuity is a great place to start.

REPLY with your thoughts.

Best,
