Crime of the Week
The 2:30 AM Cron Job Massacre
Every spring, millions of cron jobs scheduled at 2:30 AM simply vanish into the void. This time doesn't exist during daylight saving transitions, causing backup scripts, billing processes, and maintenance tasks to silently fail.
DST Disasters
Spring forward, fall back, systems crash. The twice-yearly chaos of daylight saving time.
Midnight Mayhem
When the clock strikes twelve, chaos ensues. Date boundaries and timezone confusion.
Leap Year Lunacy
February 29th: the day that exists only sometimes. Chaos every four years.
Epoch Errors
Unix timestamps: simple in theory, catastrophic in practice. Seconds vs milliseconds.
Timezone Terrors
When timezones attack: offset confusion, database chaos, and user frustration.
Calendar Chaos
Week numbers, first day of week, and other calendar assumptions that break everything.
