In this video, I highlight a very common, and potentially dangerous mistake, that people often make when using the 'find' command on Linux. This mistake is most commonly made with the 'find' command, but it can occur with other types of commands as well. Several examples of the mistake are reviewed, along with an explanation of how to prevent making the mistake.

Here is a text-based version of this video with all of the commands:

Years ago I deleted the entire/opt directory and all its sub directories with a very poorly written rm command also using poor globbing syntax.

Brilliant explanation. Also, posts on your blog are very informative and well written.  
I've found it thanks to the latest cron.weekly by Matias Geniar.
Is there any chance you could add RSS feed to your blog?

BTW, how come your YT channel has only 337 subscribers! It's awesome! 
I mean, the channel is awesome, not the fact it has only 337 subscribers ;)
