As soon as a time refers to "a time in a specific location" you need to store the location or timezone and can't just rely on UTC. There's a bunch of ways to do that, but "store as UTC, convert to local time in UI" is very simplistic that doesn't always work. For things like, say, HN posts or whatnot storing as UTC is usually the right answer, but even here there's some nuance; for example email Date: headers tend to include the TZ of the person who sent them, and if you just store all of that as UTC you lose that information. |
