The date of publication often has to be adjusted at the last minute. This can easily be forgotten. In order to reduce the risk of posts with an incorrect date being published, this commit encourages authors to keep a placeholder date until shortly before publication. A CI check prevents the deployment if a placeholder date is detected. The placeholder date "9999/12/31" is chosen because it shows up at the top of the list of posts during development and it's clearly "invalid".
