Got stuck on a weird bug in my Python script for a data sorting tool
I was building a tool to organize my old photos by date and location, but the script kept crashing on files from my 2012 trip to Seattle. The problem was a timezone offset in the EXIF data that my code didn't handle, and fixing it took me almost three full days of testing. Has anyone else run into timezone issues with photo metadata and found a good library to manage it?

Ugh, timezones have made me question my whole career choice.

Hold up, three whole DAYS? I think I would have rage quit on day two and thrown my laptop out the window. Timezones in EXIF data are the absolute worst, I swear they're designed by someone who never actually had to use them. I remember messing with a photo organizer once and getting dates from 1969 just because of a missing offset. Frustrating stuff, but at least you figured it out eventually.
