Reaction times differ by types of stimulus, auditory is slightly faster than visual and tactile slightly faster than that at 90 - 180 ms
So if git gave you a slap instead of an error message you might just about have time to react.
The slapping device would need to build inertia for you to feel the slap. Is 10ms enough for that?
I think if it's spring-loaded then definitely. (But it's 100ms, not 10ms.)
Assuming the best case scenario of feeling the slap in 90ms, it would leave 10ms to abort the command. Or did the 90-180ms range refer to something else?
Oh I see, you’re right.
This is why any reasonable engineer would go with zaps instead of slaps!
