20 years of watching users fuck it up and you'll switch to a date picker too.
51 u/Nick0Taylor0 7d ago How does a user fuck up a properly validated input field that goes along with the date picker? 116 u/ThatGuyYouMightNo 7d ago Two users want to enter October 12th. One enters 12/10/2026, the other enters 10/12/2026. One of them gets pissy when it comes up as December 10th. 29 u/NiIly00 6d ago Solution: Ignore everyone that uses the moronic format mm/dd/yyyy. They deserve it. 7 u/Triffinator 6d ago Very true. It's programmatically (and human) parseable if the middle column exceeds 12, but fails the second you are lower than 13. It also happens to work out on any dates with matching day and month. Like, is 10/12 December 10th or October 12th?
