I learned years ago to return null instead of crapping out when I couldn't return an object.

Then there's LINQ with FirstOrNull(), etc.

"Nullable references" sounds like solution looking for a problem. Or another pointless "pattern".

Like having to deal with Null value checkboxes when all you ever use is dual-state.

If you have to think about it, you probably don't need it; just something else that uses primitives one is already familiar with; and not exactly labor-saving.
