My take:

Daylight savings = bad

Time zones = good

If everyone had the same clock time, we would need to know when it was morning, midday and evening for people in other locations. Scheduling stuff between locations would still suck, but it would suck differently.

Even worse. Daylight savings creators. I work in manufacturing and we literally stut down the production line for an hour during the "fall back" and "spring ahead" so we can manually change the time on every computer.

Time is possibly one of the hardest things to handle properly for a coder. There's plenty of hard problems (network loss, 3 phase commits, etc), but time stand out as really annoying.

Another one is colors. All it takes is one library to encode colors in a weird way and then mapping them between libraries is a mess.

Yeah but good luck time traveling to the right moment to catch that guy.

“Oh him? He was here three hours ago”

Wasn't it the railroads at the end of the 19th century? Yeah... they would kick our asses.

Without time zones it would be worse. Every little town would have their own time, calculated from their position

I'd do this to all the guys who introduced different charsets.

What about time on a different planet? What would be a common time"zone" for Mars and Earth?

Yeah, screw Kaiser William.

Store times in UTC, convert in UI to locale's timezone with one of any of the millions of timezone libraries. If you're storing in local time, you're gonna have a bad time.

Nice. LOL

Quality joke, right here.

We'll round up the DST people right after we eradicate this kid-pidgin, rounding up the 'u' and the 'r' indolents.

Let's grab the people who don't know 'will' from 'would', as well. No child left behind.

I recall having this conversation about a world with same TZ in the world with my teameates, one of them responded with "wait.... we will be still sleeping in the night ¿right?"
