When the API returns UTC, but the system insists on giving you local time… but there’s an extension method that accepts DateTimeOffset?
It should be implemented in people’s brains.
How this goes, usually, is:
Them:…before 6PM.
Me: 6PM… Ours? The server’s? The user’s?
Them: GMT, of course.
Me: So that’s 7PM London right now, and changes to 6PM in November?
Them: What no are you stupid. Always 6PM GMT.
Me:* jumps off a cliff*
So just for additional context:
This meme was brought to you by the following API response scheme:
{ "time": "2007-12-24 18:12", "servertimezone": "Europe/Vienna", "timezoneoffset": -8 }
when it could have just been
{ "date": "2007-12-24T18:21:00-07:00" }
