Leon Mika ☛ On The Little Things of Data Representation
When it comes to writing code that works with a database, I tend to, or at least try to, obsess over how the data is marshalled. That includes the things you’d expect, like how the data is structured or what information is being stored. But it also includes the little things: what case am I using for the field names; whether an absent value should be represented as either an empty value or an absent field; whether nulls should be a thing, whether they should be different from empty values, etc.
