yanateras··on Ask HN: Did you encounter any leap year bugs today?
Definitely not any more coherent on a leap year! That remark only applied to dates stored without a year, as in “February 29” rather than “February 29, 2008”.

Thank you..!

Thank you :3

Here’s why:

* I was N years old on February 28th this year

* I will be N+1 years old on March 1st this year

Therefore:

* I was N-1 years old on February 28th last year

* I was N years old on March 1st last year

Perhaps the month is February and the non-leap year date is March 1st...

yanateras··on Ask HN: Did you encounter any leap year bugs today?
I’d say March 1! February 28 might be too early.

Thank you ^_~

Occasionally, but less often than one could imagine! About a dozen times in my life.

Whenever February 29 wasn’t present as an option, the frontend was at fault, so I could set the right <input> value in the inspector as a workaround.

Other times February 29 was present as an option, only to be saved as February 28. Never March 1, which I’d say would be more coherent.

The other way around! Today a few services that don't congratulate me on my birthday (on non-leap years) did. I was born on February 29th.
