There's this really cool shorthand where you drop the year because it seldom changes. It's called MM-DD

    Yeah and if you need to know what year, you can just add it to the end like this MM-DD-YY.

    MM-DD-YY is the worst abomination I've seen yet

    Had a coworker who used MMDDYY with no dashes. Unless you knew it was very hard to figure out, since it could also just be a number that happened to be 6 digits, too. At least YYYY-MM-DD looks like a date generally.

    "I can reuse this old function if I just monkey-patch this other class to work with it, no one will have any issues understanding what's going on"

    Edit: Thought this was the programmerhumor community. For context: A monkey-patch is when you write code that changes the behaviour of some completely different code when it is running, thus making its inner workings completely incomprehensible to the poor programmer using or reading your code.
