Every single US developer maybe.
In Mexico DST started in 1994 so developers who started before that (hello!) did need some adjustment and operating system support was not a given.
There are also countries where DST is not observed or differs from the US yet developers from those countries might be working remotely for a US company, with US developers or needing to accommodate a significant US clientele.

- gwbas1c 3y agoDST is common throughout the world: The days that it starts and stops vary, both by locale, and by year. The operating system keeps track of every locale's DST dates, all the way as long as DST has been a thing. When governments change the date, via law changes, the change usually gets passed along in an OS update.

- o11c 3y agoNote that Windows has major bugs here - from memory, it only keeps track of the 2 most recent DST rules, so historical timestamps will be wrong after the rules change twice.
- pritambaral 3y agoReporting from India here. No DST ever. I still know what DST is and how it works, but I've never had to change clocks due to DST.
- mook 3y agoLooking at the Wikipedia article, it looks like it's not that popular in Asia and Africa. Lots of places seems to have observed it at some point in the past, though a lot of them seem to have been last century. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time_by_country https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time_by_coun...
