Again, the library in the article removes some stdlib footguns. The footguns are there, and if you use the stdlib, you need to remove (or avoid) them yourself. There's no free lunch, and you'll either need to remove them yourself (and test that code), avoid them (and constantly remember to not hit them), or use another library.
It's not a choice between "using a dependency" or "using something in the stdlib", where all other code remains the same, otherwise there would be no point to writing a library, as it would offer nothing over `datetime`.
That’s why I’m a software developer though, because I learned the footguns in the standard library. I use it before third party libraries whenever I can. I can’t understand the fear, just learn your job.
If your approach to footguns is "just learn your job", I'm sorry, but you aren't a very good software developer.
Well you know nothing about me so screw off.
You felt you knew enough about me to tell me to learn my job, so I figured you'd be open to similar feedback.
True, my bad. I apologize. I’m impressed by your grace with this comment.
