Anyone else mass-renaming env variables and instantly regretting it? (lemmy.world)

Spent an hour today renaming env vars across three services to make them "consistent." Broke staging in the process because one service cached the old values. Should've just left the mess alone — it worked fine before I touched it.

At a place years ago, I misspelled a word (stupid English) which made its way into the APIs our FE consumed. FE guy decided to do a quick find/replace and broke prod. He missed some files.

(One of oldest database tables also had a spelling error from the site's first dev because English sucks)

Edit: WTAF, autocorrect?
