I am not in favor of abolishing time zones, but I am sure we will find better ways to communicate with each other about time if that were to happen.

- macintux 7y agoWe can’t even agree on whether the earth is flat, or how to spell/pronounce aluminum. Changing thousands of years of traditions because programmers are tired of dealing with the vagaries of time zones isn’t going to be terribly successful.
- ulkesh 7y agoAnd that’s really not an argument against the idea. Time zones are a construct that isn’t necessary any more. And it literally wastes people’s time with unnecessary legislation, unnecessary calculations, and unnecessary notions of displaced relativity. As I originally said, though, mine is an unpopular opinion.
