Please add a trigger warning to this in the future, this is too scary

Why stop at two? Why not have a dozen versions of null?

It’s super confusing. A lot of people think even one null is a problem.

This is JavaScript undefined specifically where it refers to a key that isn’t present.

Just make fun of it for having two flavors of null.

This is JavaScript undefined logic specifically where it means the key isn’t present on the object.

It’s a metaphor. If you pick at it too hard it falls apart. I’m illustrating the absurdity of the statement, not the legality of it.

But why ask for consent if you don’t care if you have it? It’s a charade. People can be upset about this and not care if their data gets used.

Do you consent for me to rob you? I may still rob you if I have a legitimate business interest.

What’s the alternative? Or an alternative I guess I should say. I agree though, I wish folks would use HTML for all documents. Like why the hell am I downloading a PDF of a thing I’m never printing? (PDFs are still acceptable for printing though.)

I’m not badgering, I’m demystifying the process.

No one knows how to use a well documented, publicly available service? No, I’d argue that no one knows how to use a private, internal only, custom solution.

I write my code, comment it out, write tests that fail, then uncomment my code, then do the proper TDD loop. Some folks get too strict about the process at the beginning saying that that a test that doesn’t compile is still a failing test. My brain doesn’t work like that.

That’s great to know. This post made me weirdly depressed and was a bad way to start the morning lol.
