Do you consider local development sites as pre-production environments? They need to be updated, too!

A few days ago, I asked [how many pre-production environments][0] you have for your software application.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But did you include each Developer's local environment?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Each developer will have a development environment - either on their computer or a development server - to write and initially test their code before it's deployed to a test, staging or production environment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Here's the thing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Each Developer's local or development site is an environment too.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
They also [need to be easily updatable][1] and consistent with the other environments, but they are often overlooked or forgotten.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When was the last time you or your Developers updated your local environment?
