      Technically correct, but the rounding error was not caused by a modern programmer… it was introduced by Julius Caesar, then patched 1,582 years later by Pope Gregory XIII.

      Setting up the evolution of the western calendar system as a github commit / change log seems like a comic xkcd must have already made.

      The best part is that this really is correct, at the heart of it.
