One of the first things I change in every client’s theme is hard coded copyright dates. And one of the things that irritates me when I see it on WordPress developer, theme author and plugin developer sites is a hard coded copyright like this one.
I mean, really? really? 
The one year code is
© <?php echo date("Y") ?>
and the span year code is
© 2008-<?php echo date("Y") ?>
So you can’t be bothered to add such simple code but you expect us to believe that you are awesome theme and plugin developers?
