#6I hate this time switch absolutely every hour of the year - regardless of how far away the actual change is. Yes, I feel robbed of an hour for the entire duration. When it’s reset, it’s nice but not so much better - because all the wrong’s already been done. It needs to stop.

Aside from many excellent developers being neither boys nor men, there are also plenty of challenges to be dealt with in the field of time-keeping without DST.

It is natural that work is shifted towards the morning and people have time after work in the evening for personal matters. People do what is most important in the morning, because we can focus better.
Therefore worktimes need to follow the sunrise, especially beyond 45° latitudes where the sunrise shifts by more than 3 hrs between winter and summer.
