We Just Need The Best

When someone asks for "the best" datetime format, they're really asking which circle of hell they want to live in. RFC 2822 gives you that vintage email header vibe with its verbose Saturday nonsense. ISO-8601 is the golden child—structured, sortable, and what your database actually wants to see. But Unix time? Just a cold, hard integer counting seconds since 1970. No timezones, no formatting drama, no parsing headaches. It's like choosing between a fancy sports car, a reliable sedan, and a skateboard that somehow gets you there faster than both. The skateboard wins every time when you're doing calculations, comparisons, or literally anything that doesn't involve showing dates to humans. Store it as Unix time, display it as ISO-8601, and never speak of RFC 2822 again unless you're debugging ancient email systems. Fun fact: Unix time will overflow 32-bit signed integers on January 19, 2038. Mark your calendars—or don't, because hopefully we'll all be using 64-bit by then.

Exceptions Are For The Weak

You know you've been writing C too long when someone suggests using exceptions and you physically recoil. The top panel shows the enlightened Java, C#, C++, and Python devs calmly explaining that errors are special cases deserving proper exception handling. Meanwhile, C down there is having an absolute power trip with its "strong return" energy, flanked by Rust and... whatever that other mascot is. Here's the thing: C doesn't do exceptions. You get an error code, you check it, or you don't and your program segfaults at 3 AM in production. It's survival of the fittest. Rust took that energy and made it type-safe with Result types, which is basically "we have exceptions at home." But C? Pure, unfiltered return codes and errno. No safety nets, no hand-holding, just you, your integer, and your poor life choices. The Japanese text (強いリターン) literally means "strong return" which is chef's kiss perfect. Because nothing says strength like manually propagating errors through 47 layers of function calls.
