why does 't.timestamps' not include 'null :false' in video? (2:30)

This is more out of curiosity seeing as, up until now, nothing has broken. However, out of all the different migrations, the ':accounts' table is the only one so far that doesn't have 'null: false' following 't.timestamps'. It's present in my local file for the 'accounts' migration but not in the video version. See 2:30 in the video for a reference.

Adding null: false isn't necessary anymore because it is the default. See https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/3334/files
