The fuck you talking about? It’s 311223!

311223 gang.

Everyone else: 311223

Can’t relate. It’s 20231231 for me.

Edit: Also this format is superior for file sorting. All files are chronological.

In your time format: 010124 goes before 123123.

You could have 4 files dated: January 01, 2002; June 11, 2001; July 21, 2004; December 31, 2003

In your time format the files would be sorted like this:

010102
061101
072104
123103

It’s 2002, then 2001, then 2004, then 2003. What a fucking mess.

In ISO 8601, there’s no such issue.

Before you reply saying theres a sort by date feature, yes I know, but file creation date isn’t the same as when the data is actually recorded. You could be inputting that data from a piece of paper in 2005 after the data being recorded in the years prior, so the creation dates would all be in 2005. Also, sometimes when copying files, the dates randomly reset. Putting the date in the filename ensures it wouldn’t disappear due to OS shenanigans.
