Where I live, South Africa, we have a single timezone which never has DST.

It is very easy for a developer here to be oblivious of time zones/DST as in practice it will never bite them in the local only market.

Well, I lie, it’s only almost never, a common smell of incorrect time handling is when the deployment instructions have a note to ensure the server is set to the correct time zone.

Tangental pet peeve of mine, in the early 2000s I received an abuse report with quoted logs with the timestamps being qualified as merely EST (or some other US time zone), which I found super annoying as I had to look up what the offset for such time zone was and then manually apply conversions before I could do any investigating of my own.
