- dhosek 6y agoI used to use a bastardized version of this on our team calendar on the whiteboard at work (just the month/year, ignoring the fact that French Republican months don't correspond neatly to Gregorian months). I was able to get away with it because the month/year were not really functional parts of the calendar. I doubt I could have gotten the team to fully adopt the French Republican calendar, although it would have been fun to try.

Maybe one season would have months named CacheInvalidation, NamingThings, and OffByOne? More seriously, what's wrong with Year-Week-Day? (I propose this having been in an industry where I regularly received swag calendars marked with week numbers, YMMV.)
