Soooooooo TIL that months in JavaScript are 0 indexed so if you are trying to print out a date string you need to do + 1 to the .getMonth() HOW HAVE I NEVER ENCOUNTERED THIS BEFORE

Every single time I construct a `Date` in JavaScript I do something like `new Date(2019, 5 /* June */, 1)` to hammer home the presence of that insane pitfall
Also: const month = date.getMonth() // highly misleading variable name const monthIndex = date.getMonth() // a little safer
