actually you'll note the comma: may 17, 2016

sometimes it's good to use one of the ones that uses 3 letter abbrevs for months cause otherwise you have to try and figure out what months correspond to what numbers

LOL if you don't know without counting what month #7 is.

Also, that's not nice to foreigns who may not know what APR or AUG or whatever are thanks to them having different names in whatever moon languages they use.

if your response to time as a programmer is anything other than to immediately find a widely used library to use so that any bugs are someone else's fault, you havent been programming long enough. no matter how much you think youve thought it through, there are always more nuances and corner cases to gently caress you. oh, you fixed all the leap year bugs? what about leap days and leap seconds bithc? what is now? the moment you capture "now" it's already "then". this might be fine, or you might be writing something timing sensitive and now youre hosed.
