New Modeling Req Dropped

Ah, the evolution of data modeling requirements! Rejecting mere "birth date" like it's some primitive Stone Age concept. But ISO-8601 timestamp with timezone? *Chef's kiss* That's the good stuff. Nothing says "I'm a serious developer" like demanding millisecond precision for when someone was born, because God forbid we don't know if little Timmy entered the world at GMT+5:30 or UTC. Next sprint we'll be asking for the exact coordinates of the delivery room and the barometric pressure at birth.

The dog doesn't bite, but watching Americans format dates MM/DD/YYYY will absolutely cause psychic damage to any developer trying to sort dates alphabetically. The pain is real.
