Well ... there are work environments where this behavior is rewarded. However you do it, if you debug, solve the problem fast and put everything in production instantly, that's an instant gratification for the risk-taking engineer.

You check and unpack once, then the rest of the "positive" codepath can use the reference without fearing null.

I fail to see how Rust would offer twice as many ways to shoot yourself in the foot ; this is a rather safe and picky language.

I'm way more hopeful in a fully decentralized protocol like Forgefed* than some AT still-centralized thing.

Under Firefox Focus I can read it if I manually zoom and scroll. Not ideal.
