You have my sympathy

I agree with that other comment which argues to set it as the users expect. I think the 1 based is logical here

Been coding for decades: burned out several times. I always return later after other jobs

I think the most job satisfaction I ever had was demolishing a house, another good thing for me was delivering pizzas.

This is nothing to worry about

That does not have to be a contradiction
