Reply to comment by winter in i love yyyy-mm-dd dates & 12-hour clocks, and i also hate unix timestamps. we exist. by emma

they all have their place and purpose

in the case of unix timestamps, i seem to disagree with a lot of people what those are. i think using them in places where you expect humans to look is a bad use of them.

yeah!!

i think tbh this applies to even stuff like text-based protocols (yes json apis you count too) since the point of those is generally to be somewhat human readable? and unix timestamps are not that. and iso 8601 exists and is readable and sensible
