Great idea, but after trying it dozen times I still didn't get the most common excuse: "works fine on my machine"

Strange. It seems to be working for me.
I found it: "Everything looks fine on my end"
You know sometimes it is a polite way to say that " it is YOU who messed it up, so why don't you analyze what you have or have not done and try to fix it"
I've found "It worked yesterday", it's all of the same vriant.
My personal favourite is "Everything worked fine in the dev environment"
"That worked perfectly when I developed it" is in there.
This is why Vagrant / Chef is so great.
Yesir. I'm using Puppet myself and it's saving me boatloads of time and energy and brainwracking.
The fact that it can be used not just for Vagrant but for setting up your nodes on a cloud infrastructure is kind of overpowered :D
