IMO, ISO 8601 is better for computers, people working with multiple time zones, or critical logging.
RFC 3339 is better used colloquially, while still remaining unambiguous for the use cases that most people use dates and times in.

Z indicates UTC. Alternatively,
2023-12.12T21:18-05 for time zone as central. The UTC time zone code at the end just tells you where the time is taken from. Usually Z is used since, well, it’s “universal,” but having a +13 or -06 or whatever else brings context, and allows computers to synchronize the string of text into a comparable time for event logs and such.
The difference:
2023-12-12T21:18Z is ISO 8601 format
2023-12-12 21:18 is RFC 3339 Format
A small change

I couldn’t agree more!
