While all that is super cool and good to know, does it change or affect at all how js dev or their app interacts with date or time since they are for all practical purposes synonymous?
- afavour 5y agoOne huge difference between them is that UTC is, well, universally used, while GMT is switched out for BST (an hour ahead) in summer months on client machines. Not that you should be assuming anything about the state of the client machine but this is an extra footgun.
- gmiller123456 5y agoProbably not, but there's no reason to perpetuate the confusion of the two. I'd think the only practical situation where it'd be a problem is if you enter GMT into software that actually interprets it as GMT rather than UTC.
