The author explicitly admits "my brain switched to auto-pilot mode." The problem with that is that we're on auto-pilot many times and we realize we're doing it only after something bad happens. The UX should prevent auto-pilot to do harm to us (and possibly to the customer/company relationship.) "You're about to delete 55k stars" should be enough, as the author suggested. But designers can be on auto-pilot too.
