mhoyeThere is an ISO8601 subreddit.
Either this means nothing at all to you, or these are your people.
Third spruce tree on the left@mhoye would be if I went to reddit anymore.
Yes, I'm the guy at work who edits your confluence page to change M/D/YY to 6801.
"It fucking sorts itself why would u use any other!?"
Mister Dave@tezoatlipoca @mhoye at a glance i thought you'd have a lot of documents written June 8, 2001
Javier@mhoye and it's not just an ISO8601 subreddit.
It's "Glory to ISO8601".
Chris Simpson@mhoye I guess it's time to start using reddit again then :)
Tim Chasethese ARE my people indeed.
Zimmie@mhoye ISO 8601 is way too expensive. RFC 3339!

Jack Yan (甄爵恩)@mhoye I’ll admit it. I was there way, way longer than I thought.
Jessamyn@mhoye I JOINED SO FAST.
3Jane Tessier Ashpool@mhoye ok forgive me but why is this better than 24-aug-2025? Non-English spelled months, I guess, and the ability to sort better?
@3janeTA you get internationalization and unambiguous sorting largely for free - 08-10-12 is uninterpretable without a standard, and jfmamjjasond is not a great approach to ordering - but I think the real appeal of it is as a beachhead of stability and comprehensibility in an otherwise insanely complex space manifested solely by human cooperation and I think a lot of people see beauty and necessity in that.
@mhoye I’m mostly working in ISO13485 and a little 14971 so I appreciate standards generally just hadn’t heard of this one. And it took me so long to parse jfmamjjasond that I totally see the point of that being hard!
Ethan Black@mhoye Oh my gosh yes
