Edit: For everyone saying CVs and resumes are different, that might be literally the case, but that is not how job applications are using them. I just went to this one:

The only correct format is from greatest to smallest: yyyy-mm-dd
This is, in my mind, verifiable by noting the way that lists are ordered when using this format. They are sequential. This isn’t true for either of the other formats.
As a programmer I agree. I have fucked around with trying to parse unrestricted user inputs of dates and I have found out.
Year first is the only way I can actually know which value is day vs. month.
Why don’t programmers make a programme that can read dates instead of complaining that dates aren’t in a obscure format?
They in control of their own issues.
The date is 12/11/2024. Am I talking about yesterday or a day about a month ago?
Yesterday unless you’re mental.
Is 27 outside right now. What am I talking about?
It’s great for lists but I don’t know a single person who’s gonna say “hey let’s meet up on 2024 December 11th.”
You must not know many programmers that have had to deal with American date formatting then.
I used to be a programmer myself (originally studied it for game design but now I’m a 3d animator) and it’s why there’s a specific default data structure built in to most programming languages to handle dates and internationalization of those dates.
Please someone tell oracle and microsoft.

Looks like someone already did. Been around since at least JDK 1.1
They need to be told a fuck of a lot harder then.
If you really need a specialized toolset to handle managing dates and times in a program beyond whats already there, then find a library that has the tools you’re looking for or make it yourself if it doesn’t exist. Extending the date class is always an option.
