Now only if I could convince people to quit thinking FirstOrDefault will always return null if it can't find anything.
It does what it says it does, default value. It just so happens that for objects that is null
(I say this because I had to prove to someone once that their if statement would always evaluate to true. Lol)

Hey, PHP has the coolest operator: the SPACESHIP operator <=>
The
<=>is for evaluation and||=is for assigment, the??null coalescing operator is more close to it but are not the same.Now only if I could convince people to quit thinking
