Ah yes, the universal truth captured in a single line of code. Nothing quite hits like initializing an empty array and calling it "friends" - it's both syntactically correct and emotionally devastating. The compiler doesn't judge you for this. It just silently allocates memory for zero elements and moves on. If only real life had that kind of efficiency. At least your array won't throw a NullPointerException - can't disappoint you if there's nothing there to begin with, right? Pro tip: This is actually production-ready code. Ship it.
