I’ve had to fix bugs like this. I feel for you. Fixing a bug like this changes who you are as a person, haha. You come out a much stronger developer.

If you’re curious, mine was the result of having to fix a timezone bug problem. And yes, before anyone asks, we were passing the date around in UTC ISO. But due to impersonation, the wrong timezone was utilized until years later when I came around to fix it. Now I feel like I know everything there is to know about time zones... and I wish I didn’t have the battlescars!
