> Just the date fields is a hilarious example of why I'm skeptical. Python (babel.date) and Javascript (the browser's locale) both have locale-aware date rendering. Using a library for country-based date and time parsing would have eliminated ~12 country-specific change sites... but instead we got `is_uk` and raw date format strings (`%d/%m/%y`) in-line inside already-enormous functions. Also, at a meta level, the backend code shouldn't usually be formatting the dates (data export may be an exception), we should be sending ISO dates and having the frontend format the code if anyone gives a crap.

Did you reject the PR or is that not a career-enhancing approach in your organization?
