Year-Month-Day best everywhere

I always have written my dates this way. It's one of those things that always seemed weird to me and then when I realize that only in America do we write our dates MM-DD-YYYY /facepalm

YYYY-DD-MM is some unintuitive shit.

[-] PXoYV1wbDJwtz5vf@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

I refuse to believe anyone does this. I think the inconsistency comes down to how people speak. "The meeting will be held on the 10th of January 2023" = 10/01/2023 but "January 10, 2023" = 01/10/2023.

I don't know how you would have to torture your brain for it to feel at home with YYYY-DD-MM.

Lot of talk of numerics only. The problem there is knowing what format the information is in since clearly there are 3 possibilities. Without context and during certain parts of the month you're hosed. Best to remove ambiguity and go with the alpha numeric format.

DD MMM YY (or alternatively YYYY)

Ambiguity gone.

23 Aug 23. Ya, no ambiguity. /s

2023-08-23 is the way.

Seeing as I do a lot of AV editing I use this format to keep track of Audio files I do production on. YYYYMMDD Filename Version. It's often a case of working on a file and coming back to it weeks or months later, and in most cases there are multiple versions and revisions as I collaborate with my production partner.

It helps me keep track of the timeframe, what it is and which version so I can ensure rendered versions I'm using in other directories or as assets in other files are consistent and up to date.

The directories got quite messy and confusing initially until I adopted the ISO date format for this case.

Y'all MFs need version control.

Directories exist for a reason

The dashes waste space. You'll know what 20230809 means in context.
