    Human readable: Either ddmmyyyy or yyyymmdd
    Computer: yyyymmddhhmmss only.

    Imo the only wrong thing to do is mmddyyyy
    That 's just cursed. Like imperial system.

      But how do you document which version of an hour it is when daylight savings time “falls back”? What about leap seconds? Also if there’s no time zone specified is it local? UTC? GMT? I could go on…

        I am not living in a country with multiple timezones
        I am not working in a multi-national company.

        Should I have to define timezones, I will say so (e.g. “Let’s meet at 13:00 (or 1pm) CEST”)
