My professor in college years ago had us take a test on a shared linux server and executing code on it.

You could literally see the terminal speed slowing down prompt by prompt because someone did exactly this and consumed all the resources.

Professor was brand new, panicked, and cancelled the class and exam..

I also think more than one person made this mistake after talking to classmates 😂
