YYYY-MM-DD is the only acceptable date format, as commanded by ISO 8601.
For file names, absolutely.
When I’m asking what date it is I typically know the current year.
Well la-tee-dah, look at mister not-shitfaced-every-day here, bragging like a big man
If you have years of files named similarly with the date, you will love the ISO standard and how it keeps things sorted and easy to read.
I have autohotkey configured to insert the current date in ISO 8601 format into my filenames on keyboard shortcut for just this reason. So organized. So pure.
Glad I can count my own country, Lithuania, among the enlightened.
