This is about the old argument around how date strings are formatted.
MMDDYYYY vs YYYYMMDD, spaces or hyphens may differ. It’s an old and passionate argument (mostly due to the American approach of starting with the month being insane)
That’s a certain kind of skill I wouldn’t want the need to have. I just copy paste those timestamps into a terminal with date -d @ (and always forget the right syntax for that :D)

Both ISO8601 and RFC3339 are YYYY-MM-DD. The difference is in how the date and time are separated.
Than you! I was shooting from the hip half asleep (the classic ‘gosh I’m so clever’ moment for me…)
Also, ISO 8601 has some handy rules for expressing time lengths and periodicities.
I’ve worked with this one project for so long I can now read +%s timestamps.
