DST is the dumbest thing ever and especially now with global warming. IF you want to move the clock in summer to make things more convenient, move it back an hour, not forwards.
Due to DST we have less time to spend outside in the evenings. The sun stays out much longer, especially here in the more northern part of Europe. With DST, once you get off work it's simply too hot in the direct sunlight to be outside comfortably.
It only gets comfortable outside around 10 in the evening, at which point it's almost time to go to bed. By moving the clock backwards instead of forwards you get 2 additional hours of outside time. Another advantage is that you have a more time for your bedroom to cool down a little before going to sleep.
I'm not a "capitalism gives you brain worms" kind of person, but the idea that we should literally change the location of the sun in the sky because that's what's most convenient and the hours of work are sacrosanct is always the weirdest take to me.
Why go through all this farrago? There's only one time that really means anything, so have noon at noon (modulo your time zone) and then live your life the way you want.
>DST has caused my team our fair share of headaches and troubles…
I hate to break the news to you, but "NASA wants to come up with a new clock for the moon, where seconds tick away faster"
So your team will leap away from those DST headaches into transcoded seconds headaches. Now incorporate negative leap seconds into this time correction soup and everything will be just fine.
