I'm a systems guy. ISO8601 or die. Whomever decided to put the most significant digits at the end of MMDDYYYY can get fired. From a cannon. Into the sun.
When I try to enter a date in excel and it formats it as numerical 424523 or some shit smh
Makes a lot more sense as it gets easy to sort files that way.
Tab completion approves of this naming scheme.
I find that it's better than confusing month and day and going insane when dealing with both American and Bri'ish clients
