I'm not. Everyone is told to get 10X the amount of shit per day done these days. Safety checks are out the window at that point.

You can get 10x shit done without `rm -rf`ing your files. I don't see any correlation to getting things done with having a proper sandbox.

I haven't yet had an agent rm -rf files.

I've had one f up an account by placing 2000 limit orders at the wrong price, but that's another story.

I've had agents run `rm -rf`, but it's been on directories that did actually need to be removed. To a certain extent I think the existence of `rm -rf` as a command that runs blindly without any understanding of what it's deleting is the problem.
I've had one sever its own internet connection. Less destructive, also more humorous.
the answer is rm -f `which rm`, yes?
