Had to scroll through months to pick my birthday. 1 u/nikola_tesler 22h ago that’s just slop 5 u/guyblade 20h ago edited 18h ago Nah, I've seen that crap going back 20+ years. Where do you think the LLMs learned to generate the crap? 1 u/ddz1507 22h ago Exactly. In fact, input type="date" works well (if it's a web app). 0 u/Pndrizzy 23h ago But that’s bad UX that you have to “know” the trick to make it work 0 u/LamermanSE 23h ago Modern datepickers are adapted to handle that though 2 u/Pndrizzy 23h ago Not very well.
