Gary’s Answer
if your response to time as a programmer is anything other than to immediately find a widely used library to use so that any bugs are someone else's fault, you havent been programming long enough. no matter how much you think youve thought it through, there are always more nuances and corner cases to gently caress you. oh, you fixed all the leap year bugs? what about leap days and leap seconds bithc? what is now? the moment you capture "now" it's already "then". this might be fine, or you might be writing something timing sensitive and now youre hosed.
