@zachweinersmith.bsky.social but in this one field I think the defenders just have the upper hand. Vulnerabilities can in the future be found before the software is put into production.

![Text from Wikipedia: "February 30 was a day that happened in Sweden in 1712.[5] This occurred because, instead of changing from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar by omitting a block of consecutive days, as had been done in other countries, the Swedish Empire planned to change gradually by omitting all leap days from 1700 to 1740, inclusive, so that the next leap year after 1696 would not be until 1744. Although the leap day was omitted in February 1700, the Great Northern War had begun, diverting the attention of the Swedes from their calendar so that they did not omit leap days on the next two occasions; 1704 and 1708 remained leap years.[6]
To avoid confusion and further mistakes, the Julian calendar was restored in 1712 by adding a second leap day, thus giving that year the only known actual use of February 30 in a calendar. That day corresponded to February 29 in the Julian calendar and to March 11 in the Gregorian calendar.[6][7] The Swedish conversion to the Gregorian calendar was finally accomplished in 1753, when February 17 was followed by March 1.[6]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:x4zhvxaqgmpi7nqcfrps5p5n/bafkreif7iwhiueoxovc2sglwqd5riunwusk2mz5f4tcmetzgkpmg22ufpm)
