Yeah they call it “irreducible complexity”. And yet there’s a little wart on top of my car’s dashboard that just detects if it’s light or dark out.

When’s the give send go campaign?

Like you said, GIGO, but I can’t say I’m familiar with any csv looking like that. Maybe I’m living a lucky life, but true null would generally be an empty string, which of course would still be less than ideal. From a general csv perspective, NULL without quotes is still a string.

If “NULL” string, then lord help us, but I would be inclined to handle it as defined unless instructed otherwise. I guess it’s up to the dev to point it out and not everyone cares enough to do so. My point is these things should be caught early.

I’ll admit I’m much more versed in mysql than postgres.

NULL != ‘NULL’

How do devs make this mistake
