I sent "there is no new format. You have the day and month switched."
He replied "it would be helpful if you would provide an FYI whenever you make changes like this" as if he hadn't read my first sentence. -

Next time do send an email when making changes. Something among the lines of: "FYI I've resigned and my last day is X. By the way, format is DD.MM.YYYY"
What follows is an email I want to send very badly right now:
RE: please provide new date format
There is no new date format. You have the day and month switched. In the sample you've provided.
You've been getting away with it up til now because the digits were small enough to be either a month or day.
Then, as soon as you hit a snag you immediately gave up and assumed it was me changing things. You came to me before even making a guess what could be wrong.
Learn to fucking troubleshoot PLEASE. I am sick of your lazy shit coming to me with an issue every time you stub your toe. You are professional developers and I am your junior.
