If you have been manually updating the year on your websites/app footer like this folks, you've been doing it wrong...

And I'm sure there's plenty more so either don't include it at all or do it programmatically!

Here's a few examples of how you could achieve it :

JavaScript

<script>document.write(new Date().getFullYear());</script>

PHP

<?php echo date("Y"); ?>

Python

import datetime as dt
{{ dt.datetime.now().year }}

Ruby

<%= Date.today.year %>

Now go update your website and let fellow developers know about this simple workaround!
