Oh god. Time zones are a goddamn nightmare in programming, and I’m sorry:
specifically
TL;DR programming is hard, but representing time is… a PITA for subtle, complex reasons that most people don’t have to examine in excrucating detail like programmers are, uh, forced to do. This is not meant as an excuse, just an explanation of why seemingly simple things in programming are unusually often … a lot harder than you expect?
Which leads me to my favorite tweet of all time. I literally had it bronzed. Twice.
So, American sorry, bordering on Canadian sorry. We thought it would be easy.
