I worked for a company that did their dates multiple ways and it was fucking impossible to know what date was what. It was super frustrating. I’d prefer this, but if you don’t, at least keep it consistent once you start.
If a date starts with the year, everyone will know the thing after it is the month. I’ve never ever seen YYYY/DD/MM. That, to me, seems like it wouldn’t add additional confusion at least.
Why is the format not:
2025/4/12
Biggest time frame to smallest time frame (year, month, then day)?
For written format that is ideal but when talking about a date, say in two weeks time, saying the year is redundant.
As a computer scientist, I’ve been doing this everywhere for over 10 years already. Be the change you want to see in the world.

They flipped month and day. If it was the year, you’re right.
