> Not that I've ever had to spend a day trying to troubleshoot a bug that was alerted by our monitoring system at 2020-11-09T09:11:05Z (as it was defaulting to UTC), but the relevant logs were timestamped at 10:11:05 09/11/2020

It gets even more fun when such events happen during the switch between daylight saving time (like CEST) and standard time (like CET).

When I worked closely with Germans there was a special time of year where our daylight savings changes overlapped, so for a few weeks we'd have a 10 hour time difference, then an 11 hour time difference, then 12. We tried to minimise meetings during that period, as someone always got the timing wrong.

Ah, daylight savings.
