The eternal battle of date formats has claimed another victim of pedantry. While normal humans discuss candlelit dinners and long walks on the beach, developers immediately default to ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD) – the only format that makes logical sense in a world of chaotic date standards.

Let's be honest, anyone who's ever tried to parse MM/DD/YYYY vs DD/MM/YYYY in code has contemplated career changes. ISO 8601 is like the Switzerland of date formats – neutral, logical, and sorts chronologically when alphabetized. The perfect partner doesn't exist... except in standardized timestamp notation.
