@lmk @simon As stated in the article it is mainly about database design. You want to have time stamps in your data that are consistent over the globe. That's why you use UTC or Unix time. There are pitfalls, but the article suggest another layer above the UTC normalized storage and only for 'human facing' times, especially regarding events. I think it is still a good idea (and advice) to normalize time stamps for technical purposes, like log entries. It seems you have another take on this?
