    One of my friends had a production machine go down bc someone apparently left vim running on a log file all night. Took up over 300gb of ram by the morning. Apparently they got rid of session timeouts because devs were sick of having to log back in

      Using memory limited users seems like it would be a good idea. Then again, that might be easier said than done on an existing system.
