    In my experience, if you didn’t write the function that creates the list, there’s a solid chance it could be None too, and if you try to check the length of None, you get an error. This is also why returning None when a function fails is bad practice IMO, but that doesn’t seem to stop my coworkers.

      good point I try to initialize None collections to empty collections in the beginning but not always guaranteed and len would catch it
