It really depends on the use-case. If you had a meeting at a specific wall-time you'll want the timestamp to change. If you recorded a timestamp for when something happened, the local time should change.
But you should under no circumstances record the offset. Record either a timestamp or local time + location.
- mikelward 8y agoI agree that systems should record times in UTC. But I'm talking about a more nuanced edge case: parsing user-entered date strings. If a user says "4pm Los Angeles", it could be ambiguous, and recording the offset is the only way to reliably disambiguate. See my reply above.
