    for storing dates it’s awesome, for displaying dates it’s time to teach your programmer how to format shit for humans.

      It actually is the best for displaying all-number dates to people as well because no one in their right mind will ever do yyyy-dd-mm.

      So if you see the year first, you know the format. When the year is last and you see a date like 03-02-2023, you have to take into account the nationality of the author to know if it’s March 2nd or February 3rd.

      But 2023-02-03 it becomes clear that it’s February 3rd.
