Everyone has a development environment, but not everyone has a separate production environment.
This is almost certainly the case of dev happening in the live environment.
I think you meant to flip that. The only time one has a dev with no prod is prior to first release.
If environment is the live one, that's production not dev. Using it for development doesn't make it a dev environment. It means you only have prod.
It's a sarcasm about corporate spending decisions. The joke is:
The point being that if management has decided not to spend resources on a test environment, then "production" is in fact test.
