F-ing up myself is part of my routine. I always rm files that I don’t mean to (obviously not always but it happens). So I think it would be nice to have separate ‘delete’ permission. With that I could protect my files from accidental 'rm’s. What’s your opinion

    Daily backups. Then you can have as much wild ambition as you like. Disk failures do not care for your permissions bits anyway.

    Practically though, one thing I find that’s a good habit to get into is to use rmdir on directories that you know should be empty instead of rm -rf. If you’ve made a mistake and try to delete the wrong folder, it’ll error out.
