Ugh.. I personally hate these lists. Absolutely no value added, nobody is going to remember these, they're gonna learn them the hard way and most importantly, if they don't work directly with the timekeeping infrastructure, probably never. And if they do work on the timekeeping infra, they likely know all of this.

Sure, you might run into some quirk at some point in your career but they will end up being just another weird war story.

I worked directly with NTP. The nitty-gritty details and the leap second smears and all of that, for an absolutely huge network and I find this list patronizing, smug and worthless. It's some sort of intellectual masturbation or just another instance of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32335165.
