Yeah, thanks, complete waste of time. If any decent programmer believes
even a quarter of that list, they aren't very good programmers.
(admittedly, there are 2 or 3 items on that list that don't appear to be
falsehoods, but I leave that up to the experts, since 99 percent of the
list was perfectly acceptable.
Even so, that particular list has no relevance to the topic being
discussed here.
But, I think I'm just about ready to give up even trying to make any
sense out of more than half of the things folks say on this list anyway,
so I'll just add this one to the list and go on about my day.

To solve the whole time/date problem, I never understood why they don't
separate the two. Time could then be a regular integer, since there's
only 86,400 seconds in a day.
I am almost speechless. That is beyond inane.
Hint. There are 24 timezones, but not all are 1 hour different.
Computers move. Sometimes they move fast. Computers fly aeroplanes and
sail ships. They move across timezones and need to keep working.
Go read this, and I mean all of it, closely. It is fun, it is
interesting, and it will teach you stuff you NEED to know.
