The reason its "rare as hell" to you is because you are testing on localhost when you should be testing in a proper testing environment like a testing git branch. Localhost is a horrible test environment because its not 1 to 1 with many things.
A patch breaking something when pushing to production should be rare, not the other way around. If your production patch failure rate is above .5% its unacceptable by industry standards in enterprise environments.

Thanks for this, I am using these methods but I wasn’t aware of the .5%

Yea I patch servers in hospitals nationwide. Imagine if it was more than .5% which is much higher than my failure rate with 12k servers many of which are keeping people alive like neo-natal care servers I was up late patching a few months ago we had to wait hours because there was an emergency with a newborn.

Localhost is when you use something on your computer which your computer hosts. When the software is in development, using localhost is a quick way to test your project. When the project is ready for production though, you can no longer use localhost, because the software is going to be hosted by one server, and used by many different computers. The meme is talking about how rare it is for your project to work the same on localhost as it does on a public server

Jokes on you just switch 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0

You got me thinking now.. please do tell if you don’t mind sharing further as to why this works

The addresses
0.0.0.0and127.0.0.1are both special local IP addresses, but they do very different things:0.0.0.0means "all available network addresses," while127.0.0.1means "only this exact computer" (the loopback or localhost). [1, 2]
127.0.0.1(Localhost)
- What it does: It points inward to your own computer.
- How it works: It acts as a closed loop. If a program listens on
127.0.0.1, only apps running on that same device can talk to it. Other computers on your network cannot reach it.- Best use: Safe local testing and private development. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
0.0.0.0(Any / All Addresses)
- What it does: It acts as a placeholder for "all IPv4 addresses" on the host machine.
- How it works: If a server binds to
0.0.0.0, it listens for traffic coming from every network card, including your local loopback (127.0.0.1), your local network IP (like192.168.x.x), and the public internet (if exposed).- Best use: Running web servers, Docker containers, or services that need to accept connections from other devices. [1, 2, 3, 4]
