Accidentally typed 'sl' instead of 'ls'? Install this and get a steam locomotive to run across your terminal.

A smashed keyboard? How will provoking a hulk incident fix anything?

If your reaction to someone telling you to slow down because you're being reckless by not confirming what you type on the CLI before pressing enter is to smash your keyboard, you should be fired
And in that case, sl has done its job of removing reckless people from dangerously powerful positions

...now the question is do we want to implement a command for that

Nah it was a pretty immature company at the time, just told not to do shit like that anymore.
Once we ipo’d and put on big boy pants, that would have been at least a reprimand.

This is exactly the type of thing I love.

I love dev work like this. Computers should be fun again.

So I installed this way back in the day on my prod corporate VMs. I was still green, and any prod issues would shake me so much, it was too stressful.
I taught myself to relax when the locomotive pops up, take a few deep breaths and go on.
It was super effective. I learned to not get so flustered, and stopped messing commands due to adrenaline. I no longer install it anywhere, but it still puts a smile and a wave of nostalgia when I see or hear about it.
Such a small thing, yet it helped me grow so much.

I saw it wasn't maintained, after I posted. Was pretty bummed. Thanks for this!

ll='ls -laFh'to have it just how I like it -

Installing SL is part of my standard cloud-init config.
