The Three-Headed Dragon Of Emptiness

The Three-Headed Dragon Of Emptiness

The holy trinity of database emptiness! While they all technically mean "no value," each head has its own personality. NIL is the goofy legacy value from languages like LISP, NULL is the serious SQL standard that strikes fear in JOIN operations everywhere, and NONE is Python's laid-back approach to nothingness. The three-headed dragon perfectly captures how developers must constantly wrestle with different representations of "nothing" depending on their language or database. And the best part? They're all equally capable of destroying your code with a single unexpected appearance! Bonus points if you've ever spent hours debugging only to find a NULL where you expected an empty string.
