    Thirteen months, 28 days each + one day. (Plus another day when there is a leap year).

    It would just work.

    Time zones shouldn’t exist. There should just be UTC time and you would go to work at the equivalent of your morning time.

    All dates should be formatted according to ISO 8601 standard (YYYY-MM-DD).

    Months should be adjusted so September, October, November, and December are the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th month respectively (so the literally meaning of the names accords with their actual meaning).

    Not cleaning your kitchen knife after sharpening is trashy and contaminates your food with metal shavings.

    Tabs, not spaces.

    I don’t give a shit if your arguments perfectly align to the function. It’s only semantic indication. Use the goddamn special character that has its own dedicated key.

    void main() {
        //code
    }
    

    Is better than

    void main()
    {
        //code
    }
    

    Why would you want to put it on a separate line? Are you paid by the height of the source file or something?

    English verbs have historically had present form, past form, and past participle form, eg. go / went / gone. I’m sad to see the past participle form being phased out of American English. People I went to school with and who I’m sure were taught differently (not to mention innumerable podcasters and public radio personalities), now say things like: “By the time I got home I found he’d already went,” eliminating the past participle and instead using the past form. Had saw is not uncommon either. I am old enough I refuse to incorporate this development in the language. If I ever encounter had was/were in the wild I might blow a gasket. Now entering my fuddy-duddy years :(

    Single-speed bicycles suck.
    They combine the drawbacks of a geared bike with the drawbacks of a fixed gear bike.
