The company likely has a processes setup around the fact that everyone is running their dev environments the same way. Trying to do things differently without yet understanding their process will only complicate things.

For example, at my job everyone runs OS X, so build scripts, etc are all written with that assumption in mind.

Agree with you 100% and that is the point of my comment. Understand the tools, workflow and processes used by the employer first.

I'll do that. I've already asked what they use for their stack, they mentioned they don't use any PHP frameworks.

They mentioned they use OOP and things like that, but their codebase appears to be plain PHP with no frameworks.

Your developing on individual developers machines - you need to change jobs Stat!

I'm developing on the company's machines. Why would that be a problem?

They created an account for me on the Windows machines. I'm on my way to set up an Arch VM.

With all due respect You really don't understand the difference between a development server and your personal PC - How many years experience did you say you had?

Why the attitude? If it's a simple definition problem there's no need to get snippy, just address the issue and move on.

Given the op's claimed experience if they don't understand that your pc on your desk top is not the same as your dev/test/live systems - it's about time some one pointed this out to them before they get in real trouble at work.

What, in anything the OP said, makes you think they don't understand the difference between their workstation and the dev/test/live systems?

I understand the difference between those, what makes you think I don't?

What?
