The subtle yet profound difference between null != domain
and domain != null
is perfectly captured here! The first check (happy face) follows the defensive programming principle of putting the constant first to avoid accidental assignments. Meanwhile, the second approach (angry face) risks the dreaded NullPointerException
if someone mistakenly types =
instead of !=
. This tiny syntax choice literally determines whether your code review ends with approvals or a 47-comment thread about proper null checking conventions. The facial expressions perfectly match the emotions of discovering which style your codebase has standardized on!
