No, but adopting different date schema because it makes sorting by name easier for computer seems weird to me. Like if it’s text data, you still have to parse strings, if it’s files, you can just look at created/modified flags.
Maybe I’m having a grumpy boomer moment :cat-confused:
It would be ridiculous if some one wanted to restart the calendar to signify the widespread adoption of computers, but changing the written format for a date seems ok to me.
I do wonder how much of this is opinion is formed from being at the same place and creating a ton of records. mm/dd/yy is starting to drive me nuts.
Computers are bad for reasons?
And anyways, sorting can be done in paper ledgers too.
Yeah, but the sorting method is more flexible when a person is filing.
Also, in retrospect I think most people file by month and archive by year, which is essentially a yy/mm filing system
:a-guy:
:yes-chad:
