I must have missed that quote, I seem to be unable to find that text in the post.
> This wasn’t phrased like “I prefer to use UTC time and here’s why I like it,”
I don't know, it kind of seems like it was:
> Here’s Adam’s story of how living by UTC transformed his productivity, and why it might work for you, too.
and
> Give it a try, you might find it as liberating as I do.
They're making it sound awfully optional if their intent was to put you in jail if you didn't do it.
- dangus 1y agoI’m not sure how you missed it. It’s right there in a parent comment in this thread: “Five years ago, I decided time zones should be abolished, and everyone should use one coordinated time.” That quote is also in the article.
