    In every project I’ve ever worked on, there’s been somebody who must have been like, “HurDur Storing timestamps in UTC is for losers. Nyeaahh!”

    And if I ever find that person, I’m going to get one of those foam pool noodles, and whack him/her over the head with it until I’ve successfully vented all my frustrations.

      I just use a float between 0 and 1 with 0 being 1970 and 1 being the predicted heat death of the universe.

      The only time using UTC breaks down is when any sort of time change gets involved.

      If I say I want a reminder at 9am six months from now and you store that as UTC, a day light savings change will mean I get my reminder an hour early or late depending on where in the world I am
