Yep, even writing a simple wildcard at command-line I will 'echo' before I 'rm'.

On computers I own, I always install "trash-cli" and i even created an alias for rm to trash. It's like rm, but it goes to the good old trash. It will not save your prod but it's pretty useful on your own computer at least.
