NULL, from Radiolab 🎧

I listen to an astonishing volume of podcasts. I wanted to share today's episode of Radiolab with the DEV Community—I think you'll appreciate it!

Let me set the stage for you, without spoiling any of the episode's twists and turns:

A security engineer in the US thought that putting "NULL" on his car's vanity license plate might prevent him from getting speeding tickets. He was wrong.

What follows is a dive into the digital (and systemic) challenges faced by people whose names present complications in online databases.

Give it a listen, I'd love to hear what you think! 🎧
