7/29    Happy Sysadmin Day
        \_ our "sysadmin" today deleted /home. When we asked her why
           she said she didn't do it. When I checked the sudo logs,
           I found these two commands in order:
               COMMAND=/bin/rm -r /home testuser
               COMMAND=/bin/rm -r /home/testuser
           oops.
           \_ Remember, following has very different behavior when
              executed directly vs. when executed as part of a script:
              rm -rf /home/#somefilenamewithhash
           \_ um are you trying to be funny? this is a well known bug
              in a git commit.   please try to be original.
              \_ I am completely serious that exactly this happened.
                 what is the git commit bug you're talking about?
