My academic advisor in college was named Null
Even I kept running into trouble because the system thought I didn’t have a registered advisor.
I have never seen this happen, and I don’t know what tools would confuse the strings “null” or “Null” with NULL. From the comments in this thread, there are evidently more terribly programmed systems than I imagined.
As long as there’s javascript somewhere, anything can happen
Sounds like a promise of magic!
I’m pretty sure at least some of the university’s systems were designed by students.
Two likely reasons:
- CSV got involved somewhere
- JavaScript
Shit happens, mistakes are sometimes made. Valve once had code that could delete your entire drive.
