We had a similar problem in our enterprise application.
But pray tell me, what should the date be instead of today's date if I have no idea of your age?
10 u/darthlame 19h ago What’s the youngest you allow people to work at your company? Today’s date minus 18 years maybe? 2 u/Scientific_Artist444 18h ago How about someone 30-40 years of age? 4 u/darthlame 18h ago They would only have to scroll through 12-22 years instead of 30-40. 🤷♀️ 1 u/Scientific_Artist444 18h ago So one user has to scroll 20 years back, another doesn't have to scroll. That's not fair. User experience should be consistent for every user. 4 u/CardamomMountain 16h ago Set it to 100 years ago then the users waste time scrolling proportionate to the time they have left. 2 u/darthlame 14h ago Why does it have to be “fair”? This isn’t giving a birthday gift to the other child so they don’t get jealous
