ISO 8601: a better date format
The real advantage is that Azure and AWS and every other US-centric cloud service insists on showing me that something happened on the 3/11/2021.It's a wild guess to figure out if that is the 11th of March or the 3rd of November.Unless there's also another date with a number higher than 12 in it, there is no way to tell. None. None whatsoever.For US staff with US regional settings, it's always obvious which date is correct. That is the one single case where there is no confusion. This works as expected for just 4% of the world population, but it is those 4% of the world that get to decide the date format.It's the most obnoxiously American attitude imaginable to ignore this issue because it doesn't affect them... only the other 96% of the planet./rant over
