I tried to create a Custom List. I had event receivers attached to custom lists and i got this:
Cannot insert the value NULL into column ‘Name’, table ‘[somesharepointcontentdatabase].dbo.EventReceivers’;
column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
The state­ment has been terminated.

I found out what this means and how to get around it.

Everyone’s done it. We get lazy, we’re pressed for time, or we oth­er­wise don’t care enough to stan­dard­ize our stuff. I can note this most preva­lently in code, but it easily extends into design and every day life.

I cannot claim to be inno­cent of this crime, nor would I. It takes effort, expe­ri­ence, and an iron will not to cut cor­ners in every­thing you do.
