This pyramid visualisation doesn't work for me, unless you read time starting with seconds.

I get it, just pyramids are misleading, also year-month-day is better because resulting number always grows. 😺

A bit out of context, but is your username and instance a reference to nescafe?

[-] nesc@lemmy.cafe 11 points 3 days ago

Not really but now that you mentioned it, it will! 😄

[-] lena@gregtech.eu 4 points 3 days ago

That's an interesting coincidence

2025-01-26T11:40:20, you mean?

[-] olympicyes@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Hold on there pal that time zone is ambiguous. Did you mean 11:40:20 UTC? If so, don’t forget your Z!

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 points 3 days ago

I mean 11:40:20 in what NodaTime would call a "LocalDateTime". i.e., irrespective of the time zone.

(And incidentally, if you're working in C# I strongly recommend the NodaTime library. And even if you're not, I strongly recommend watching the lectures about dates and times by the NodaTime developer, who demonstrates a way of thinking about dates and times that is so much more thoughtful than what most standard libraries allow for without very careful attention paid by the programmer.)
