I worked for a company that did their dates multiple ways and it was fucking impossible to know what date was what. It was super frustrating. I’d prefer this, but if you don’t, at least keep it consistent once you start.
If a date starts with the year, everyone will know the thing after it is the month. I’ve never ever seen YYYY/DD/MM. That, to me, seems like it wouldn’t add additional confusion at least.
Why is the format not:
2025/4/12
Biggest time frame to smallest time frame (year, month, then day)?
ISO8601 FTW!
Issues with unix paths. I prefer 2025-04-12.
This is the way.
2009, got it
Don’t forget leading zeroes, we’re not half assing this!
02025/04/012
my guess is order of relevance.
In my computer engineering course this is literally how we were told to write the date on our lab reports.
As a computer scientist, I’ve been doing this everywhere for over 10 years already. Be the change you want to see in the world.

They flipped month and day. If it was the year, you’re right.
This is how I do it- my folders and files are super easy to find
Canada uses this
yyyy/mm/dd
For written format that is ideal but when talking about a date, say in two weeks time, saying the year is redundant.
ISO Tanf rise up.
Also 2025/04/12
