Why not just use epoch? render it however you like. - Posted at 1724222105

I prefer human readable datetime for debugging, because there are a lot of programs which have timings and timeouts for certain operations. Being able to quickly observe that a timeout happened in 500 ms instead of 1.5s would be interesting, epoch does not show you this information.

Similar with quickly jumping to a certain day.

1724222105000 and 1724222105.000000 are common forms that solve that problem.
