This particular affectation seems really far from overcoming its current limitation of being a readability roadblock.
- wizzwizz4 5y agoI didn't find it particularly bad for readability. Then again, I'm used to ISO dates (2022-01-30).
- Freak_NL 5y agoIt's the leading zero that throws me off and makes me look for a day-of-month or month number in a string that is too short to have one and a leading zero. ISO 8601 dates are fine.
- mark-r 5y agoISO 8601 dates are perfect! It's too bad they're not more popular. I tried to push for them in labels used in a manufacturing plant with locations both in the U.S. and Ireland. Seems like a slam dunk because it eliminates the confusion about whether the month or day comes first. In the end I had to compromise on the month specified by abbreviation rather than number: 2022-Jan-30.
