Any man who must say "I am the King", is no true King at all.

It's not shorter than out-of-the-box c# 6, which would be var id = order?.Customer?.Id ?? "INVALID";

I think that was the point he was making, that it's always been possible, and now is simple.

you must have missed the part of that advertisment which reads "No longer must valuable engineering personnel ... spend priceless creative time at routine figuring"

They're not obsolete at all, they're just doing better things with their time.

'Sequel', because even though it's grammatically incorrect, it rolls off the tongue much better.

Form Over Function has been Apple's M.O. for a long, long time.
