So you used AI to refactor your crusty legacy Java codebase and discovered that all those "edge cases" you meticulously handled were actually just paranoid defensive programming? The system's now deterministic because the AI stripped out your null checks, exception handlers, and those 47 nested if-statements you wrote at 3 AM.

But here's the kicker: removing null checks doesn't make your system deterministic—it makes it a ticking time bomb. The second person is rightfully pointing out that we're basically trading polar ice caps for NullPointerExceptions. Sure, your code looks cleaner and runs faster, but at what cost? Production is about to become a minefield of crashes that your "edge case paranoia" was actually preventing.

The environmental irony is chef's kiss too—burning through GPU cycles to generate code that'll crash harder than the Titanic. At least the original spaghetti code kept the servers running.
