I know many devs find pointers and nulls evil and prefer using values only, especially in the Go world. But to an untrained eye, "7pm Dec 31st, 1969" probably seems arbitrary and confusing. A null value would have been useful here.

this is not Go's zero value for Time. it's zero UNIX timestamp in the UTC-5 timezone. i don't think it's intentional. probably that's how they store it in the database.
