git log | grep -i 'dhh'
    DHH is an a-hole.  validates_uniqueness_of is supposed to be case insensitive by default according to the docs, but it ain't.
    if i ever meet DHH i'm gonna punch him in the face for changing this aspect of the rails api, then i'm gonna get him to punch me in the face for not fixing all the holes in our app, and now i'm gonna go hunting in the logs to find the user who pissed us off so we can all punch them in the face
    stupid madness, stupid dhh and stupid me redux
