I suspect the number of people who share the perspective of programmers working across international teams is a lot smaller than the programmers think.

Ever hear of someone missing a meeting because it was scheduled for 2:00EST and they thought it was 2:00PST? Ever see an email from an employer, or hear the news reminding you to change your clock this weekend? It's not a programming problem, programmers are just more keenly aware of it.

And it's not really a "problem" at all. Just an idiosyncrasy. Like imperial units.
