Ask HN: How many time you proofread 'sudo rm' before hitting enter? 2 points by xhan0o 3y ago ↗ HN Is it just me who's always act paranoid hitting enter on sudo rm command.?
[–] wruza 3y ago ↗ Regardless of sudo.Without -f: zero, because my bashrc always has alias rm="rm -i". Same for mv, ln, cp, they are destructive as well.With -f: I always check cwd, hostname (both part of a prompt) and the entire command. First dry run with ls or echo instead of rm in some cases.
