Both Monday and Sunday are used as the first day of the week with quite some regularity. It’s a completely arbitrary standard no different to "the tenth month is the one called “October”. Or dividing a day into 24 segments which are each broken into 60 smaller segments of 60 even smaller segments. You can’t say either is “wrong” per se.
Personally, I was brought up learning Sunday is the first day of the week, but at some point decided that was bullshit partly because it’s the week end. But also just from a practical standpoint when looking at a calendar, it’s useful to have the weekend days grouped together.
I’ll be sure to tell my boss to throw away all the work he already paid for and start over in a different language. I’m sure he’ll be very understanding
On which planet? Monday is 1

Yeah, that’s why my calendar starts the week on Saturday
On planet America.
Ah the same place that uses feet and inches, and puts the month before the day, and cannot read a 24 hour clock?
I was off by one, but Sunday is 0 in javascript
JavaScript is wrong
That’s nice, you can run
weekend = dayOfWeek > 5and then explain to the boss why clients are getting work texts on a sundayDon’t use JavaScript on the backend ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Depending on how you’re counting your integers, Monday is 0, being the first day of the week.
