r/AskComputerScience on Reddit: 'It's null until you ship it' - what does it mean?
November 20, 2013 -

Hi Reddit! I recently got a t-shirt at a programming conference with a motto 'it's null until you ship it' printed on it.

Since I'm not that experienced in the software production field (CS studies ongoing), I can only suspect that it is a form of the uncertainty principle applied to computer science: the product does not exist until it's shipped out.

Is my thought process correct? Or is there another pun to this? Thanks!

going to ship something out but the word “null” was under the buyers address, is it fine to ship out with the label like that ?
It’s fine, I had the same thing show up twice this month with buyers addresses. Mercari also changed their tracking system, and I’m assuming it’s a placeholder for a lack of apartment number or second line in the address field. Both buyers received their packages, and all was perfectly fine. Please just disregard and ship as normal! Oh, and for reference, here’s an example of what the addresses looked like: Lily Munster 1313 Mockingbird Lane NULL Mockingbird Heights, CA 90210 More on reddit.com
