    My harkness test is that if you wouldn’t trust it to run a nuclear power plant. Why on earth would you trust it making changes on your own computer?

      I barely trust myself to run a nuclear power plant until the next scheduled maintenance (I wouldn’t touch anything and wait for it to shutdown on its own), but I happily trust myself with root permissions and slapped together bash scripts (but not both at the same time).
