Re:Ask HN: What stack should I use to build my basic web app... by hungerstrike on Thursday March 29, 2018 @09:37AM (#16706896)
I'm just wondering if you're not from the USA? Because that date format is very common here particularly for written dates.

Whenever I write a check or sign and date something, that's how I write it.

Nope I'm not, though I work at a company with 2 engineering offices in MV and Dallas. Just FYI: Other than the USA, this format is not used anywhere else:

Working with a global company, I tend to use 29 Mar 2018, which is much more unambiguous (and in code we usually use yyyymmdd, which makes it easier to search for logs/output of a year/month/day etc.).
