No love for DD-YYYY-MM?
Why would you ever not put the month next to the day
Wait are you serious?

filename.`date +%s`This is me but without the dashes. Haha I know l, what’s wrong with me..
But I’ve also started using 10/Aug in emails to make things crystal clear.
Anyway.
Everyone talks big game about the file names but forget how important standardizing on log time stamps is too. When I’m able to pipe a bunch of logs into sort, I get so happy.

For speaking or writing it out going month then day feels natural, although I know it’s a regional thing. If you’re going number format, it should always go smallest to largest (DD-MM-YYYY) or largest to smallest (YYYY-MM-DD). For file names, definitely the latter so you can sort by alphabetical and everything is in order.
