Here’s the shortlist of horrors I’ve had to deal with in my career:

  • Mixed US/ROW short date formats - DD/MM/YY, MM/DD/YY
  • mixed timezones in the same column
  • the wrong timezone (marked as PDT but actually UTC, or sometimes the other way around)
  • clock drift
  • timezones again…because timezones suck
  • historical timezones
  • NTP configurations

Things I’ve read about but haven’t needed to deal with personally:

  • leap seconds
  • clock slew vs skip
  • hardware clocks
  • PTP

The one thing I really don’t care about is relativity
