Say Goodbye to Outdated Footer Years, Forever

Funny to see this, about 13 years ago I left a PR comment about not hard coding the year. The dev thought it was unneccessary because there was many months left in the year, while I believed it was trivial to use JS (it was).

Started a small argument, and ultimately was decided to use JS. Code was in use until the business folded in 2020, 8 years of saving PRs...

You realize that the copywrite date means something right? If you have something original you want to protect it and your date just rolls forward you loose the protection and significance for prior years.

If you just roll the date forward you basically say you invented this today which mostly defeats the purpose of the declaration in my opinion.

Might just as well remove it entirely.

Note IANAL

Haha this is funny and it's not even April fools day.

Oh, I was reminded of this chore we had to do years ago.
