    I wrote a program to figure out what day of the week this landed on (assuming it is in fact October 2nd, 151441).

    It’s a Saturday.

    Real downer on the start of the weekend.

          That program better be using an existing date library, because otherwise it’s most definitely wrong.

              Don’t be ridiculous, that would never pass QA.

              But this one will. Joy for years to come:

              public string GetDayOfWeek(DateTime date) {
                  return ((date - new DateTime(1970, 1, 1)).Milliseconds / 86400000) % 7 switch {
                      0 => "Thursday",
                      1 => "Friday",
                      2 => "Saturday",
                      3 => "Sunday",
                      4 => "Monday"
                  };
              }

          Bro probably to account for leap Thursday’s. We have one every ~28k years to keep in alignment with the true solar week.
