I found a new variation recently. Luckily all my code was checked in.

Meant to type:

    rm -rf node_modules && npm install

Question: what's immediately next to the & key on a keyboard?

Answer: *

Actually typed

    rm -rf node_modules ** npm install

Oops.

If you’re on Mac OS X , try installing the “trash” app (from brew iirc) and retrain yourself to never use bare rm anymore. There’s probably similar tools on Linuxes.

Theory is: rm is dangerous and should not be used day to day.

Using btrfs on Linux I have a job that takes a CoW snapshot of the whole filesystem every 10 minutes just so that I can undo whoopsies. I don't retain all of these snapshots, only the most recent one.

Or simply have local, quick, regular and tested backups.
