Because in reality you're not doing stupid stuff like that in the image. And using Typescript definitely helps.

However I'm always annoyed that the month parameter when constructing a date object is 0 based. So 1st of Jan is

new Date(2024, 0, 1)

Looks confusing at first, but I found it nice for accessing a month array.

const months = ["Jan", "Feb", ...];

months[0] === "Jan";

const label = months[date.getMonth()];
