I feel that this is what we should be using instead of the current illogical time system.

    Solving technical problem is what an engineer does. Asking people to do things differently so that the engineer doesn’t have to solve the problem is what exactly?

      In that case, why don’t we switch up timezones every day? Make it even harder for engineers. More problems = more technical solutions, right?

      I don’t see how your point makes any sense.

        Timezone make sense because it makes time mean something in real life. Midday is the time when you lunch, and the middle of the day. 7 or 8 pm is the evening, you get your dinner. Etc. Time is a tool used by people because it’s useful.

        Now you are an engineer and you need to deal with timezones. Well, fucking do your job I’d say.

        The problem with programmer is that they always try to change user habits rather than simply doing their job.
