Why Am I Always Late? Or Is It Early? Why Are Dates So Hard?
Among the challenges developers face are naming things, cache invalidation, and off-by-one errors. But the one we never talk about is date logic! Date logic is full of fallacies and challenges that we as developers often hand-wave away, only to be bitten later! In this talk, we will explore and explain some of the common fallacies and challenges, such as daylight savings, non-standard timezones, and the challenge of presenting back to the user.
