# Product guy said to return January 1st if the user doesn't have a birthday on record

Kind of arbitrary but someone with decision making power decreed it.

this is among the most important comment types that exist imo

it may not seem like it but 20 years and 5million lines later when shit behaves odd because of some non standard code practice this type of comment is a life saver
