Overview

It Works on My Machine is a fast, laugh-out-loud workplace comedy about what life as a software engineer actually feels like. Not the polished conference version. Not the startup landing-page fantasy. The real one: standups that should've been emails, features that were "temporary" for three years, and deployments powered by coffee, hope, and mild panic. Through short, scene-driven chapters, Abdelfattah Ragab takes you inside the daily chaos of modern software development-requirements that change mid-conversation, bugs that only appear during demos, architecture diagrams that grow extra boxes, and code reviews with 47 comments and one lonely "LGTM." This is not a technical manual. You won't learn Kubernetes, system design, or how to become a 10x engineer. What you will get is recognition. If you've ever refreshed a dashboard like it was a heart monitor, said "it works on my machine" with confidence, or deployed on a Friday and immediately regretted it, this book will feel uncomfortably familiar. Perfect for software engineers, developers, tech teams, and anyone who's survived real-world software development and still has a sense of humor.
