I will second you ok that: date & Time handling across timezones was one of the 2 hardest things I've ever worked on that are deceptively simple on the surface. The other was adding localization/making an app translatable to any language after shipping the first version with hard-coded text.
- hermitdev 3y agoSame here. Worrying about current timezones is a hard enough problem. Getting accurate historical timezones handling working is an even harder problem. Getting consistent results across Windows, Mac and Linux is an even harder problem. Needed it for proper handling of historical time series for financial data.
