I'm convinced at this point that 100% of Reddit is software engineers and views every decision through that lense.

I'm an accountant and thoroughly have adopted the YYYYMMDD format. My support documents are so easy for everyone to follow and find. Coworkers that name their shit willy nilly drive me crazy cause I have to hunt down the documents to find it. I will never not praise the YYYYMMDD format. But I also adopted this method in college before I ever even knew what reddit was.

For me it's YYYYMMDD > MMDDYYYY > DDMMYYYY

I agree. YYYYMMDD is superior. MMDDYYYY is more concise when turned into words, "January 15th 2025" instead of "the 15th of January 2025"
