The Great Programmer M-F Reset (with non-scientific moon claims)


There's a lot of evidence that we humans are "out of sync" with the planet. This code:

https://github.com/Pardus-Kurumsal/go-dlib/blob/88a3ebf10fe8014a37fa375f96d91db9495ccd48/calendar/lunar/lunar.go

And there are many other ways to track the moon, but here's the next great thing us programmers could do to help the world like we did with zoom and the remote work revolution.

I mean sure, covid played a part too, but really who's been trying to disrupt that formal dress IBM white shirt M-F schedule and code when we feel like it, wearing what we like...

We got rid of the white shirt and the hours and even the location, what's left? M-F.

We're completely out of sync with the moon people. It's so _obvious_ like a sysop looking at the entire system we call civilization and seeing this bug. Oh, silly humans, just make your weekends on every new moon and full moon, that's it.

I say "with non-scientific moon claims" in this post because I didn't want any down votes for people that want to debate if this has science behind it.

I just want programmers to slowly make app after app of this new calendar system for busy working professionals and slowly demand our new wearwolf schedules.

Clarification: I'm saying every few days before full moon and every few days after it should be weekend A. And every few days before the new moon and every few days afer it should be weekend B. And you get two of those each month. Big parties. And that's it. No more M-F.
