Boomer-coding Memes

Grandpa dev here reminiscing about the good old days when JavaScript date formatting was so intuitive that you had to literally Google it every single time. Because nothing says "modern programming language" quite like having 47 different ways to format a date and none of them being the one you actually need. The kids these days with their date-fns , moment.js , and dayjs libraries don't understand the struggle of raw Date object manipulation. Back then, we'd copy-paste Stack Overflow answers like true artisans, each one slightly different, none of them handling timezones correctly. The real kicker? We're still Googling it today. Some traditions never die.
