    I’m working on a major website migration right now, and was literally hashing things out with timestamps yesterday. If I had to deal with encountering a 24th/no 0th-hour bug, I’d call up the old dev and ask them how they avoid shitting on their loved ones while being such a giant asshole. Make me fucking convert the hours to a number so that I can subtract by one, and then convert it back to a timestamp. I know it’s a simple solution, but I would have definitely first wasted hours trying to figure out why and which of my 50,000 posts was causing my migration to fail.

    Point being, what you call a cosmetic error could singularly fuel my nightmares for a month. Shame on the maintainer for acting so indignant over what I now consider the kindest bug report of all time. I’m so grateful that users like you exist.
