Time Travel Priority: Eliminate Timezones

Time travel fantasy? Nah, just give me five minutes with the timezone creator. I'd explain how their "brilliant" idea turned into the most cursed part of software engineering. Seriously, who thought it was a good idea to create 40+ timezone standards, DST rules that change on political whims, and historical timezone data that requires regular updates? The number of production bugs caused by timezone calculations could fill a black hole. And don't get me started on leap seconds! The only thing more terrifying than a datetime bug in production is finding out your database doesn't store timezone info.

The education system really nailed that return on investment. Somewhere, a CS professor is updating their syllabus to include "How to Convince AI You're Still Useful 101."

Still Better Than Nothing

The image shows an empty or barely visible diagram of what appears to be some kind of device interface with the title "How programmers comment their code". It's the perfect representation of that code you inherited with exactly zero helpful comments. You know, the 10,000-line monstrosity where the only comment is // TODO: fix this later from 2014. Or my personal favorite: /* Don't touch this. I don't know why it works. */ After 15 years in the industry, I've accepted that comprehensive documentation is like unicorns—everyone talks about them, but nobody's actually seen one in production.
