It sounds like you agree that leap seconds themselves are a problem for people besides Meta?

I agree with gmiller here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32229049 that the whole thing smells like Facebook's engineers wanting to save themselves some work, at the cost of generating more problems for the future.
This kind of garbage attitude is why we have climate change, covid-19 and so many other things wrong with the world. Befitting that this one came from facebook.
It's not Facebook. Even the examples of the post include non-Meta. It's not "some work". It's how we conceptualize time moving linearly, and that logic encoded on software.
People just want a reason to dig on Meta.

They are a problem many people have already developed solutions to.
