I'm definitely in the "for almost everything" camp. It's less ambiguous especially when you consider the DD/MM vs MM/DD nonsense between US dates vs elsewhere. Pretty much the only time I don't use ISO-8601 is when I'm using non-numeric month names like when saying a date out loud.

    Yeah, it's pretty much everything for me too. The biggest exception being when UI is involved and a longhand date format would be more friendly.

    In Canada we use MM/DD and DD/MM so you never quite know which it is! There's an expense spreadsheet I fill out for work that uses one format in one place and the other format in another....

    Hey, that sounds like my cloud storage providers auto billing system.

    “Your auto renewal will draft on 08/09/23.”

    Is that August 9th or September 8th? Literally depends on where the person you ask is in the world.
