All this talk about JavaScript date libraries reminded me of this site. If you want to break some assumptions you might have about calendars and dates, check it out! Unfortunately, none of the popular libraries actually handle all of this correctly. 😞 yourcalendricalfallacyis.com

The greatest myth across the entire industry is that after this sprint we’re all going to start making good technical decisions instead.
