What about the original story said it wasn't in his local area on the dev server? Just because he asked his co-workers for advice doesn't imply he ran the script in a public area.

As for slack, I think his co-workers should cut him some, in case they make a mistake of similar magnitude at a later point in time. But in this case, I think it's neither here nor there, since he avoided the outage anyway.
