RE: Oops! A "Fat Finger" Deletes the STEEM.GLOBAL Faucet! Initiating Rebuild Sequence.
I think anyone in the IT industry can attest to blowing away something they did not intend to delete. It happens to the best of us.
Steem on,

The problem with having too much open, being far to tired and getting distracted is something I've got to work on!
Glad to know I'm not the only person out there that accidentally nuked their own stuff!
Oh, terminal, using the commands history, one more press on an arrow, reflexes working and quickly hit enter. What was that? Damn, it started with
rm. :DIt happened only once. My half afternoon was gone.
There should be an extreme warning associated with the command:
rm * -r
A long time ago, I was cleaning up after completing a project. I thought I was in the right directory and issued that dreaded command.
Big OOPS! And you get that sinking feeling.... what did I just do... NO! Too late, it is gone.
Doing that one or two times, you quickly learn.
These days we have a lot better backups and configuration management. And more strict controls on who can alter the production environment.
Steem on,
Mike
