Not if you write code that calculates time.

I guess that would still be neat when finished.

I guess it wouldn’t matter if the code was calculating time offsets and so on.

But it would matter if I wanted something to take 60mins and then set a start time and an end time.

Dates and timezones are the worst! :-)

In Europe, some weeks before. Cuz why shouldn’t we have a time difference that’s different for a couple of weeks compared to the usual, it’s not like ppl in CET and EST ever have meetings together.
