I have nearly a decade of zsh history. Reading that article I came to the conclusion that I may have been hit by that bug in the past but I haven’t noticed.

Then I kept reading and the author mentions accidentally exporting HISTFILE[1] and I screamed in terror and ran to my computer as I realized a mistake I’ve been making for…ever.

I am now both happy and sad I read this article.

I'm always curious what people get out of their terminal history. About 98% of mine is embarrassing and made for the ether.

Have you ever looked back on your history?
