Every software service I’ve worked on has had issues around DST transitions. That’s really the only programming benefit I see for getting rid of it going forward.

I worked at a big tech company for half a decade, and without fail, every year there was some kind of serious bug caused by DST.

Things either happened twice or never, it was always really painful. In any growth company, I would imagine that these things keep occurring, as people haven't hit the bugs themselves yet.
