Just to save the trouble of writing './'?

  Yes??? :) I'm not the crazy one here! That's a whole two characters on the same side of the keyboard...

    How often do you find yourself running executables from the current directory? Is this a daily thing?

      For my workflow, yes I don’t think it’s a severe security vulnerability. The same thing can happen with $home/bin.

        I think it's substantially riskier. At the very least, it means you are trusting any directory you cd into, rather than just trusting your $home/bin. Stuff that would not typically raise eyebrows has been made risky. You might cd into less privileged user's $home, or some web service's data directory, and suddenly you've given whoever had access to those users, access to your user. Maybe you could argue "well, I just won't cd outside of my $home", but the sheer unexpectedness of the behavior seems deeply undesirable to me.

      Gamedev! I could run some crazy cmake command to build and run, or I could just bin/build.
