Job oldJob = null;
Job newJob = new Job();

Congrats, hope we see some good rants

@const hope to see good !rants

Job job = new Job();

There. I refactored it for you. The reference will be lost and munched up by the GC anyways.

Cheers on the job!

Can you show us some constructor details?

How did you got this new job? Who sets variables to null? :D

@kpenc Java developers. It's usually not used like that though.

@kpenc Electron framework users on Node, since you need to have it to null for the process to stop if every window is closed :)

newJob.setSalary(newJob.getSalary() * 2); 🤣🤣

Congrats on the new job! , this is my last week in my current job as well, cheers to us!

@BigBoo But then you wouldn't know if I had an old job or not ☺️

@andrijanvk I wish.

@cst1992 When you create a new instance of a job. It's usually a new instance. The variable name has nothing to do with it.

But, whatever.

@BigBoo I know; then it'd be "Job job = new Job();" but as I said, you'd have no way of knowing if I had a past job or not. Besides, I have no objection to having the oldJob garbage collected or assigned a new instance by someone else 😉

Thanks everyone ☺️ BTW, I gave my notice to the old employer and they were kind of mad at me for leaving. ☺️ Well, it's been 3 years, so that's way better than them not caring at all I guess...
