If Err Isn't Nil

MacBook Pro if err != nil {}

A black-and-white close-up of a MacBook Pro keyboard shows the programming phrase “if err != nil {}” on the Touch Bar. The joke references Go programming, where checking whether an error is not nil is a famously repetitive and recognizable pattern. It is used as a reaction to programming culture, tedious error handling, or an unavoidable developer habit.
