Nobody will look for developers with the following line in the ad: - Must be an expert in strftime / Date / datetime This is something everyone expects devs should know, but unfortunately working with timezones and date objects is super hard. The example with %G is too specific for the whole problem. There are always date conversion / libraries / ISO / Locale specific / etc.. Damn it, even Apple returns specifically "PST" in their own responses ( why?! ) [1]. Everyone has a story with manipulating date / time and that's already a sign how bad the situation is. Trying to be positive ( and funny ), I hope there will be some big and great conference in around 1747247444 [2], where the United Nations' computer department decides that it's too stupid to have so many rules for measuring time and sets a unified standard with no DST, leap years, etc. 1 : https://gist.github.com/lxcid/4187607 https://gist.github.com/lxcid/4187607 2 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time
