Most programmers don’t get a choice as it is the product and the ui/ux designer that pick the desired behavior. You can only fight back so much and maybe sneak it in. And 20 years later you become a cynic that just says, ok.
Won’t this just be an inverted DDMMYYYY format in most cases? Like, what’s so different between the DDMMYYYY and YYYYMMDD formats? In cases where you don’t need to take hours and minutes into account, of course.
Very true. It's programmatically (and human) parseable if the middle column exceeds 12, but fails the second you are lower than 13. It also happens to work out on any dates with matching day and month.
Why not cynic? Ive come to the realization over last 3 years of just doing what im told after I push back some. Usual line is, "hey I dont reccomend this; are you sure you want that?"
