@mavica So, pretty! *swoon*

@stolas@elekk.xyz How many users do you expect to have is_boss = true compared to total number of users?

If the ratio is something like 1:100 then it could start making sense to have is_boss stored in a separate table, then make sure that table always has at least one row.

Rebooting......... DONE

Maybe I should stop drinking coffee? ☕🚫

@kinsey It's also kind of a go idiom what nil values *should* be valid if possible.

So, I guess that while a nil *os.File is not a valid open file its a "valid" *os.File, in the sense that you can call all the methods and expect to get an error in return instead of panicking. 🤷‍♀️

@kinsey I'll return an error, yea, but you can just ignore the return value in that case.

@kinsey If os.Open (or os.Create) returns an error then the file pointer returned will be nil. So defer file.Close() would be... not ok.. wait? No, you can call Close() on a nil *os.File!
