While I think of myself as above this error, I can absolutely see myself falling for it. Messing with symlinks to dynamic libraries isn't uncommon and in the heat of a debugging session, the fact that I mess with the linker itself can go unnoticed. Of-course I would move it to a backup, but when accidentally also closing the last shell instance the problem amounts to the same.
Also the LLM output is so noisy, there are tons of shell commands, commands and a lot of useless text, which can easily make you miss the needle in the haystack what you are actually doing.

But this is a great advice. You can learn a lot of things, if you are stupid enough to delete your dinamic linker.
But when you know exactly what happened you probably wouldn't have done it in the first place.
