i’ve written about this countless times but off the top of my head i remember implementing a pageable HTML calendar that you could click “>” to jump to the next year. the server started crashing a few weeks later and i realized somebody had been entering Int.max for the year in the URL and clicking “>”. it had never even occurred to me that someone would go looking at years beyond 2025.
there’s a really simple counterargument to this, which is cost.
