This is exactly how you get "works on my machine" from your devs.

As others have stated:

Vagrant
Docker
Dev servers provisioned automagically on AWS/Azure/GCE

Pretty much anything but polluting your own machines with "working code".

The only code I run on my machine is literally static things without a build system or installation steps needed. Or me mucking around with stuff for fun (even then I stay away from polluting my machine with dependencies).

Keep those dev machines clean!

Docker looks promising the more I look into it.

Even if you don't dive deep down the Docker rabbit hole and integrate it into your overall deployments and architecture, you should definitely look at it for development reasons and keeping those dev machines clean.
