For funsies I'm going through the momentjs tag in StackOverflow and the majority questions are variants of this problem
The biggest challenge people have with datetime programming is differentiating the idea of a moment in time from a (possibly zone-dependent) representation of a time. It comes up enough that it just must be hard.

Another variant is "why doesn't this parser know my string expresses a time in UTC?" stackoverflow.com/questions/… This one comes up a lot of Luxon too, though I think Luxon's API for this is clearer than Moment's stackoverflow.com/questions/…

It's true that CA's longitude works out to 7.6-8.3 "hours" away from GMT, but that doesn't matter at all and doesn't make using -7 a DST. It's only a DST if it changes during the year.
