Looking at that pill bottle labeled "Not caring about backward compatibility" while staring intensely at it? Guilty as charged. Nothing says "living on the edge" quite like pushing that shiny new update that breaks every legacy system in existence. Who needs stable APIs when you can have excitement ? Sure, the users with older systems might riot, but they should've upgraded five versions ago anyway. Their technical debt is not my emotional burden. That sweet, sweet feeling when you delete 200 lines of compatibility code and replace it with 10 lines of elegant modern syntax. Worth every angry support ticket.

Forget MM/DD/YYYY vs DD/MM/YYYY debates! Some evil frontend developer decided the best date format is "YYYY/DM/DM" and expects users to calculate their own birthday. It's like telling someone "your birthday is in 1990, now solve for x where x equals the day you were born divided by the month, twice." This is what happens when you let the same person who named variables like temp1 , temp2 , and finalTempIPromise design your forms.
