I am a frontend dev. JavaScript (well, TypeScript) is my bread and butter. Even knowing its quirks I never would have thought how inconsistent Date actually is. I encourage everyone to try this quiz.

This is what JavaScript haters should bring forth, not 0.1 + 0.2 !== 0.3!

To paraphrase a German comedian (I’m not even sure who said it).
