Is it a dev-thing that I always prefer 24H over AM/PM? Or are there any AM/PM lovers here?

Is what my preference on date formatting for personal use. I'm also a metric system hipster in the US who starts calendar weeks on Monday instead of Sunday.

@corscheid
Do you also measure in meters?

Metric system ftw <3

@Hazen yeah. Beats the crud outta feet yards miles. Arbitrary AF unit conversions..

@corscheid
a US Citizen using the metric system, I guess I love you ;)

@Hazen I guess I love you too. And the rest of the world's measurement system. Much sense. Very logic.

Fuck AM/PM...

Metric system, why? What could possibly go wrong with doing a precise task in imperial units? Or even a basic shopping. :D

22:22 all the way :)

Yup, 24h system over am/pm. Probably because it's linear time system, where as for am/pm you'll have to put an if else to process if morning or evening.

Sure using 24H is easier when coding, but I'm not a computer.

Healthcare programmer. 24 hour format & Julian days.

I live in Germany, nobody here uses am or pm. Always 24 hour.

Yeah long live 24H!. Headshot for Am/Pm ... I feel in home here in DevRant 🤓

I prefer 24HR as well. Most friends think I'm weird for using that format but frick, I don't care. I love it! Too bad they can't tell what time it is on my phone right away. Lol

I don't always use the time, but when I do I use UTC.

I prefer Unix timestamps tbh

-Yea ill be there at twenty three.

Am/Pm

I do like am/pm format. I have my wristwatch set to am/pm because, for instance 8.00 seems more friendly. Like time wouldn't pass so fast. But at work, I look at the watch located in tray (24h format). Then time have to pass fast.
