My first job was at a company where this was installed system wide on all remote linux boxes. Everytime you type sl it would take over the whole terminal for a couple of seconds leaving you unable to do anything. This was before docker & devops era so we used to ssh into machines at lot.

It was the thing that prompted me to learn tmux so I could switch tabs without needing multiple putty windows.

The original use case went away long back, but I use tmux still, so thanks I guess :)
