In my view what's best is to always pass around utc but include the Z to make it explicit that's what you're doing. It's a very succinct way to represent that and can be very valuable to disambiguate so I think it's worth the extra character.
- midasuni 5y agoSometimes you are defining a date by the local time. I have a meeting on June 13th 2026 at 15:00 london time. This could be 2026-06-13 14:00:00 Z But if the U.K. drops summer time, or makes it double summer time, the meeting will still be 1500 london time, but the UTC time might change to 1500Z or 1300Z
