It's just a filename, calm down. The created by date is tracked by the file system and the repo.

    And you assume that changes to filesystems, new filesystems being created or other such things won't at some point create a edge case that creates a problem?

    When you could just be safe? Sounds stupid as fuck to me to blindly trust nothing will happen to create problems.

    I understand you feel very strongly about four digit years, but I really don't see any situation that I couldn't sort out with a simple script.

    Usually I don't put dates in file names in the first place, but when I do I use the UTC timestamp; a date without a timezone is inherently fuzzy, and it's easier to compare and differentiate numerical times.

    If someone used two digit years in their naming convention I wouldn't even blink, let alone get the woodchipper, life is too short to get angry over stuff like that.
