The intern: FUUUUCK, WHY ISN'T MY CODE WORKING?
Me: Lemme check real quick... ok, that's a null pointer exception.
The intern: Again? Man, I'm growing desperate. How do I stop making these errors?
My dumb ass with my 4 years coding experience, who encountered a nullpointerexception literally 5 minutes earlier: """"°-°""""

    Devrant gimme back my images on posts I can't express myself with emoticons, it's not 2009 anymore. Nowadays we need memes, that's the new standard

    You've been coding for 4 years and first encountered a npe minutes earlier?!

    I'm not sure whether to be jealous or disgusted.

    @AlmondSauce Where did you read first? Because that's not what was meant.

    Other than that it can help not using Java.

    There is a reason if languages like TypeScript or Kotlin have a really explicit way to assign null to a variable.

    The secret to don't have null pointer exception is to (almost) never assign null. And if you get data from deserialization/socket, then you've to check every field

    @AlmondSauce no, it means you never get rid of them and I got one like 5 minutes before the intern called me desperatedly to know how he could solve them
    @qviper no f clue

    Use a language where nullability isn't implicit. Allowing nulls everywhere is just stupid and prevents a shitton of ultra-common mistakes from being found at compile time.

    @crisz Sadly that's rather difficult in Java, as non-primitive fields are null by default.
