I'm a Software Engineer and a teacher.
There's no feeling quite like the one you get when you watch someone's eyes light up learning something they didn't know.
Unrelated, but my last job had a referrals-based business model, so you can imagine the referrals table in their database was the most important table with indexes on almost every other table in the database.
It was spelled referalls, and every table apparently has its own convention of whether to name their column referall_id or referral_id π€¦ββοΈ
I once fixed a misspelling in a codebase without realizing that the name was coming from an external API's response so my correction broke everything. Misspellings that you can't fix are very frustrating.

Top Tip!
Rename the
BadgeAchievement
model toBadgeAcheivement
and never have this problem again!I'm sure there are things like this in the code already π

@yechielk At least that's just in one app and not the Referer header supported in every web browser and server in the world.
Come to think of it, I bet the
Referer
header has caused multiple spelling confusions leading to things like this.@halldjack Oh no! You must have thought you were fixing a bug instead of causing it. That's the worst!
Yes! Someone pointed out the referer header to me once, and I instantly felt better for the poor developer who created that
referalls
table...are we sure they didnβt mean βrefer allβs intentionally? you know, all of the refered people. or referred?
never give in
Lol, yes, we're sure π
