      Because in reality you’re not doing stupid stuff like that in the image. And using Typescript definitely helps.

      However I’m always annoyed that the month parameter when constructing a date object is 0 based. So 1st of Jan is

      new Date(2024, 0, 1)

        The same reason people drive their car to buy groceries.

        You bought it for something where it was the only option, driving 30km to work everyday. But ever since you got it, the trip to the super market is kinda too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter and what if you spontaneously need to buy more than expected?

        People learn it for front end dev, and then they use what they know for back end too.
