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?
YYYY-MM-DD is the only non-mental way to write either.
I was only answering your question about why programming a way to parse those common date formats is problematic.
Because all the other programmers suck.
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.”
Dates written in a numbers only format are not about matching the spoken language. You also would not say, “let’s meet on twelve eleven twenty twentyfour.”
