It is hard to find a date where nothing bad has ever happened. Most devs just write a random date, because who cares.
But if you're drawing attention to a certain country, it's best to check the dates for that country first. No one would blink if the character was Russian and had the same birthday.
Yeah i agree but this is not a dev, this is a huge corporation with shit ton of money, tens of thousands of employees, probably plenty of non dev peoples in the list and an already growing PR issue.
They learned the hard way that some people care, it’s not their first time.
So what are they doing with all those resources in marketing and PR to not have a simple check over the last century?
A data scientist could do the software in python or R on a raspberry pi. You don’t have to look at the totality of human history, only the last century and Wikipedia will probably be 75% of the data source. So imagine what could do a multi million dollars company that loves jerking about blockchain and AI (they will, late as always but the management will want something AI).
