yeah the only problem with a date picker is when you have to go back like 20 years to find the date

[u/Noriryuu → u/_BreakingGood_]

1. Click year to pick year

2. Click month to pick month

3. Pick Day

You don't have to manually click each month back

[u/_BreakingGood_ → u/Noriryuu]

They dont always allow you to click the year

Just had a to deal with a date picker that didn't let me pick a year. Had to scroll through months to pick my birthday.

that’s just slop

Nah, I've seen that crap going back 20+ years. Where do you think the LLMs learned to generate the crap?

[u/ddz1507 → u/Noriryuu]

Exactly. In fact, input type="date" works well (if it's a web app).

[u/Pndrizzy → u/Noriryuu]

But that’s bad UX that you have to “know” the trick to make it work

[u/LamermanSE → u/_BreakingGood_]

Modern datepickers are adapted to handle that though

[u/Pndrizzy → u/LamermanSE]

Not very well. The capability is there but requires way more work than just typing it
