Same guy made https://jsdate.wtf, also posted to HN, and also containing material from someone else's talk I'm pretty sure.

Edit: I was wrong!



Similar to this I got my examples for jsdate.wtf through reading the v8 date parsing code and experimentation. Wasn’t aware there was a talk with similar examples for JS dates, would be interested to see it.


My bad, I was thinking about a much older talk[1], maybe something about the theme activated the same neurons. Sorry for making an accusation like that for what turns out was no reason.

It’s okay <3 it doesn’t surprise me that both of these topics have been covered before, and both are fairly small input spaces so there’s bound to be similarities or overlap.

I do love Gary’s “wat” talk, it was certainly part of the inspiration to make these.
