Imagine you are checking the configuration of different salesforce orgs, and eventually making some changes: it's so easy to make mistakes and apply those changes to the wrong org, since the only way to distinguish between them is to check the url! Chrome Plugins like "Tab Modifier" and "Salesforce Production Warning" are great but, if you want to have an additional level of security, consider running this simple Python script in the background. It will promptly send email and notification center alerts if any alterations are detected in the org you intend to safeguard... most likely your production environment!
