works for me

A commonly used phrase by software developers to indicate that the bug reported by a user is not repeatable on their machine, and will therefore receive no more attention. Usually connotes a dismissive approach, where anything that is not visible immediately to the developer is "someone else's problem" and is therefore not worth fixing.

User: The website does not show any content when I log in.

Developer: Works for me.
