ISO 8601 is the only way
I filed my first complaint against a coworker for arguing with me about ISO standards. I'm an AV engineer and use YYYY-MM-DD for my print sets which he found "confusing" because most fools write M-D-YY. I told him I got approval to do it that way and it might even become mandatory (true) but he wouldn't drop it. He sarcastically told me I should teach a class on date formats because I think I'm so smart.
We're an international company and I'm gonna keep using the international standard for dates, douchebag.
I like how this person is confused by a four-digit year as the first field, like that's ambiguous!
2024-08-28?? How am I supposed to know if that means the 28th of August in the year 2024 or the 2024th day of '28???
Sounds like somebody suffered greatly at the hands of Excel.
Remember when you could specify more than 53 weeks in a year? Oh yeah good times. Remember when they changed how those got processed? Even better times......
Fucking negative weeks based on fiscal years! Ooph.... Such rage
I have my doubts that this guy even knows how to open Excel...
