As a developer with 40+ years in the backpack, I'm thinking my next project will only accept dates as YYYYMMDD (and YYYY-MM-DD), and force usage of 24h time. I may, possibly, allow for dates to be *displayed* as DD-MMM-YY (or -YYYY) ... 🤔

This is my silent revenge on y'all for not pushing for standardizing on the only logical date and time formats 😎 😉 🤓

So you clicked on a thrilling showdown between RFC 3339 and ISO 8601, only to be whisked away to a text file on GitHub. 🤦‍♂️ Because who doesn't love a riveting debate about time formats with all the excitement of watching paint dry? ⏳🥱
