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

If we're sharing silly useless projects, I quite like "activate linux", the configurable watermark inspired by "Activate Windows".
It's unfortunately not a strictly terminal based goof, but wanted to share anyway. -

In fintech and at scale, you aren’t far off!
I eventually got the damn thing removed at least.

I would get slightly amused every time I typed "lust" instead of "list" as a kid in applesoft basic.

Does anyone know the "prank" repo that would delete Linux system (or Windows) when an wrong typo ran?

Sounds like a horrific, stressful job. How do you cope with that?

I get paid well! And at the point I’d left the job we’d gotten everything stable so that the incidents dropped off and weren’t as impactful.
Tech is weird compared to other industries, in that actual mistakes that cause outages aren’t really punished… unless it’s something egregious or you didn’t follow rules like “don’t cowboy stuff in prod, use peer reviewed plans”. It’s generally “blameless” in the postmortems, you take what you learned from it and add to the procedures to make sure that exact issue doesn’t happen again.

Sounds quite a lot like working in science actually. Just better paid, I'd imagine
