+# Programmer's Killswitch
+
+Have this running while you use Xcode. If it starts driving the system into paging hell, press ctrl-⌘-X.
+
+Currently, the Killswitch will kill these processes:
+
+- Xcode
+- Instruments
+
+And not yet these, but someday:
+
+- gdb
+- lldb
+
+The kill in question is `SIGKILL`, the famous “kill -9”.
+
+## How-to's
+
+### How do I change the hotkey?
+
+Change the source code.
+
+### How do I quit the Killswitch?
