Comcast: Your bill payment was due on October 8th, and is now past due
Me: That’s funny, because I think you should suck my balls
“Okay, time to really stop drinking!!”
And the funny part is that this shift happened at different dates in different countries so if you happened to be traveling it would have been extra fucky
The more logic challenges I see, the more I think that implementing a Date library in a language is the most challenging thing ever.
I’ve seen a short list before of a few things programmers really shouldn’t try to implement themselves, and I forget what the other 2-3 were, but times and dates was definitely one of them. It’s so incredibly nuanced, I’m impressed anyone gets it right.
Cryptography, and HTML parsing using regex come to mind.
This is canon
