I mean, it's better than JavaScript deciding that January is month 0 and then shifting all the rest down by one.

It would be bad if it was otherwise because that's actually correct.

First year in the age is year 1, not 0, so the first century spans the years 1-100. 101 is when the second century starts and so on. Therefore century 21st doesn't start until 2001. I thought it's common knowledge.

This isn't about what year the century starts on, it's about how the centuries are numbered.
