This is me but without the dashes. Haha I know l, what’s wrong with me..

But I’ve also started using 10/Aug in emails to make things crystal clear.

Anyway.

join south africa and (sorta) japan, use YYYY-MM-DD as a default - sorts well, zero ambiguity.. at least until some joker starts popularising YYYY-DD-MM, anyway

Everyone talks big game about the file names but forget how important standardizing on log time stamps is too. When I’m able to pipe a bunch of logs into sort, I get so happy.

For speaking or writing it out going month then day feels natural, although I know it’s a regional thing. If you’re going number format, it should always go smallest to largest (DD-MM-YYYY) or largest to smallest (YYYY-MM-DD). For file names, definitely the latter so you can sort by alphabetical and everything is in order.
