[LEAPSECS] programmer frustration with time

[Steve Allen]

Arther David Olson just posted this to the tz mail list

It is a rant about handling time in computer applications.
It starts off with time zones, but from 06:43 it is leap seconds,
and the epilog about Google leap smear starts at 09:15.
But the last sentence is the one that speaks most to this mail list.
