not to be THAT NERD but in the UK at least, the financial year (April 6th - April 5th) was aligned with the start of the new year which was March 25th.
The old financial year started on 25th March, which was also new year's day (and also the point that the year incremented, so if you were knocking around on March 24th 1300 the next day would be March 25th 1301.
But when everyone changed to the Gregorian Calendar - which added 11 days to the calendar to make up for some sloppy Papal mathematicians who didn't believe in things like astronomy or leap years - the tax year had to be shifted to be April 6th, because while everyone else was happy to work around things, the tax office was NOT going to have a tax year that was 11 days shorter because that would have meant less money.
So basically, when the calendar changed happened, new year was set as 1st January (yawn, stupid time to have new year!) at which point the year count incremented up by one year, and the tax year stayed (and still stays) as April 6th, which was really March 25th but with some days tacked on.
Love this. However, when I got a high score I appeared twice on the leader board for some reason. Another time I appeared just as “name” and my high score which would have put me at #1 at that point (12090!) didn’t get entered at all.
I also got duplicate cards a few times - which might be intentional, but was a little annoying.
I fixed the first issue: I got also an alert at the same time that I ran out of quota on the db so had to increase it. You should see your point now. The duplicate cards issue is strange.. I'll have to debug that a bit more
That’s called consultancy and you can bill chunky rates by the hour. You should be rubbing your hands with glee!
And then work out how to do code review and fixing using AI, lightly supervised by you so that you can do it all whilst walking the dog or playing croquet or something.
