This fucknuts who thinks day should come before year, hah! Give me YYYY-MM-DD, because dashes are better than slashes any day of the week.

This format is the best. Especially for digital file names, because sorting the files by filename also sorts them by date.

A true professional. Have an upvote.

I prefer YYYY.MM.DD, because the dots look aesthetically pleasing when the date is being displayed within the vincity of a clock displaying the time digitally.

When i first read a date, i want to see the thing that changes 74 times in my entire life first too

[–] Vinstaal0@feddit.nl 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

HA! if you even get to be 74!

But in some jobs the year is more important (bookkeeping/accounting) and doing YYYY-MM-DD automatically sorts your dates

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

YYYY-MM-DD obviously has uses, especially with sorting, but that doesnt make it the objectively best date format

[–] Vinstaal0@feddit.nl 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No I agree, hopefully we can all agree that the MMDDYYYY is the worst date format

Yep. Months must always be in the middle
