Be Fearful When Others Are Greedy and Greedy When Others Are Fearful
⚠️ I wrote this in 2016 (yes, 10 years ago), and never actually hit publish 🤦 I found it now while I was going through my drafts.

CodeSOD: Waiting for October
Arguably, the worst moment for date times was the shift from Julian to Gregorian calendars. The upgrade took a long time, too, as some countries were using the Julian calendar over 300 years from the official changeover, famously featured in the likely aprochryphal story about Russia arriving late for the Olympics.
