I can relate: a good part of my morning was ruined by typing "RAILS_ENv" instead of "RAILS_ENV"...

  Someone's life is ruined, and he is shamed in the most unjust way possible, and in your mind it merits a coding joke? Sorry, I just don't understand.

    You're right, it was in really poor taste. I'm sorry. The downvotes are entirely justified. (As a poor attempt at mitigation, I had literally just made that typo, which cost me about two hours because I'd run a lengthy migration on the wrong database in a staging environment and then not understood why nothing I tested was working, when I read the BBC News article... and, yes, I thought, "Hey, yeah, me too.")
