It seems to me that it should be up to the computer operator to set the system's timezone, NOT
the software coder. As is the case in almost every other IT system on the planet. I do not
understand why a software coder working in Chicago is forced to hardcode a TZ into software which
may be used in Tokyo or London. That only case in which that would make sense would be where UTC is
preferable to local time.
