  What’s really sad is that this was obvious in 1995. If they’d taken a slightly longer time back then, millions of developers would have avoided tripping over those unnecessary quirks.

      Some, yes, but if you looked at what was common outside of C programs this was antiquated even then. A SQL developer didn’t have to apply offsets and had better primitives for date math.
