This is your periodic reminder that you almost certainly never mean “YYYY" in a date format string, you probably mean “yyyy”.

I’ve made this mistake many times, most recently back in 2020, but apparently I'm a very slow learner and made it again in my last update (😔).

You know you've really messed up when checking your understanding leads to one of these super vintage iOS documentation pages, and they specifically call out your mistake. (🤦🏻‍♂️)

@_Davidsmith This is not your fault. It’s a bad interface. It should say “wwww” or some such thing, and the fact that the mistake is made is proof the interface is wrong.

The interface serves the community, never the other way around.
