I work in industrial automation, on the front lines of that automated timekeeping technology for 24 hour operations. The time change sucks and I hate it. It's pointless, and I'm glad that the average user is insulated from the years of tweaks and changes and bugs in all that automation, but it is frustrating because it is so pointless.
I still wish Canada had just abandoned the practice when Bush passed the utterly pointless 2007 change to Daylight Savings Time.
Most of the bugs are mostly ironed out, but they still exist. In the background, more modern devices tend to work in UTC, so internally ignore any time change. HMI displays convert to local time based on time zone. Which is famously straightforward.
You don't make a blanket longer by cutting a foot off the top and sewing it onto the bottom.
