This is the reason whiteboarding gets a lot of hate. It's really a great way to get insight into how people approach problems and how fluent they are in a subject. And if they get something wrong, but they thought it through, that&#x27

I could see a case for it if you were finding line endings in bytes mode, and then casting a buffer to a UTF-8 string. Then you'd benefit from a reverse iterator, which UTF-8 supports just fine. I imagine the main reason people would u

It's a trap! You think it's safer to return null than raise an exception. After all, the caller just needs to check. Of course, sometimes they don't. So if you're lucky it blows up in some completely unrelated part of
