Probably not what OP intended but here's what I encountered. When autocompleting code for a Pythonic database query it would finish something like "query.all()" as "query.all().delete()". Meanwhile, as a programmer, I'm usually quite vary of deleting all the records from a database unless I'm very sure that's what I want.
