Stop at x time. What else is dangerous?



I was thinking of overwriting files or removing database items. I know it's pretty easy to minimize, it just could be a problem if it isn't.


Fair enough, indeed I would advise to use with caution around data that needs to be kept safe from deletion. I think of this as a nice idea for experimenting forms of coding like spikes, but wouldn’t run something like this against a production database or my root file system.
