This was a corporate requirement where I used to work, unofficially reinforced by the local jokers who would rotate the screen and / or send prank messages if you didn't.

- friendlyHornet 4y agoI would alias both vim and emacs to cat I think at first the colleague might assume it's a bug in the terminal not someone had replaced the command with an alias or just alias them to echo, so that it prints out the file name, not even the file content

The all time favorite is sending a resignation notice to the person's manager (the manager usually gets a fair warning first and plays along with it).
