Who hasn't typed a risky command? Throw the first stone!

Decades ago I ran an “rm -fr *” as root, I thought that I was ~/bin, but I was in /bin. That was a fun lesson.

Production system, first day, did it at / and it wasn’t until I saw /bin scrolling by that I realized my mistake.

Luckily it was a stateless system and a reboop brought it back but i learned a valuable lesson that morning.
