It annoys me even though I’m still in the U.S.
Edit: For everyone saying CVs and resumes are different, that might be literally the case, but that is not how job applications are using them. I just went to this one:
The only correct format is from greatest to smallest: yyyy-mm-dd
This is, in my mind, verifiable by noting the way that lists are ordered when using this format. They are sequential. This isn’t true for either of the other formats.
As a programmer I agree. I have fucked around with trying to parse unrestricted user inputs of dates and I have found out.
Year first is the only way I can actually know which value is day vs. month.
Why don’t programmers make a programme that can read dates instead of complaining that dates aren’t in a obscure format?
They in control of their own issues.
The date is 12/11/2024. Am I talking about yesterday or a day about a month ago?
Yesterday unless you’re mental.
Is 27 outside right now. What am I talking about?
When you are writing the date, the only correct way is ISO8601 (YYYY-MM-DD). If you’re speaking to someone (verbal communication) then do whatever you want.
when making someone a cup of tea, the only correct way is ISO3103. if youre making it for yourself then do whatever you want.
Holy shit, that ISO is real. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3103
