Come join us for a special, in-person LA Ruby event with a SNEAK PREVIEW of Craig Buchek's upcoming conference talk at the [2024 Blue Ridge Ruby Conference](https://blueridgeruby.com/)!!

**SAVE THE DATE** \- Our location is TBD but it will mostly likely be located in either downtown LA or Santa Monica areas\. \*\****If your company is able to sponsor as a venue host for this event or any in the future, please get it touch with Mike***\*\*

**Talk Details: Nil - Nothing is Easy, Is It?**

Nil is pretty simple — it represents nothing. But that doesn't mean that it's always easy to use, or that it's always the right choice when it appears to be the obvious choice.

We'll cover several anti-patterns in the use of nil. We'll discuss \*why\* they're problematic, and explore some better alternatives. The refactorings that we'll look at will help to reduce errors and optimize for understanding. Writing good code might take a little longer in the short run, but it pays off in the long run.

Junior devs will learn a lot; everyone will likely learn something they can apply.
