Deleting the current directory via
./
seems contrived since you would just use.
or more likely the directory name from outside the directory. What does happen isrm -rf ${FOO}/
while${FOO}
is an empty string.Not sure if you're referencing the Steam incident, but Steam did exactly that: https://www.theregister.com/2015/01/17/scary_code_of_the_week_steam_cleans_linux_pcs/
Even so,
.
and/
are right next to each other so it's a likely typo. You might press enter before you catch it.${Insert meme of qwertz ganz not having that problem here}
