    ISO-8601 over all other formats. 2023-08-09T21:11:00Z

    Simple, sortable, intuitive.

      Awful to actually read, though. Using T as a delimiter is mental… At least the hyphen provides some white space

      Too long. Even 2023-08-09 is too long for me. But since I like the readability I use 2023.08.09. Less pixels and more readable then 20230809.

          My company has decided to standardized on phone numbers with dots instead of dashes. They’re in email signatures, memos, client proposals. I absolutely hate it and it rubs me the wrong way every time I see it. It’s wrong.

        Although I actually like that format a lot, we use characters to help elicit context. 2023/08/09 is fine since we have been using / for dates for so long. Also it blows my mind why people don’t use : in 24 hour times. 16:40 is great, no am pm bullshit and you immediately know I’m talking time.

        Same number of pixels, they are just different colours. But you still paid for them.
