A careful Unix timestamp conversion guide covering epoch and time scales, explicit seconds-to-nanoseconds units, negative values, JavaScript precision, UTC and IANA zones, monotonic clocks, and reproducible debugging workflows.

Convert Unix timestamps without confusing units, resolution, and clock accuracy. This guide covers explicit seconds/milliseconds/microseconds/nanoseconds contracts, integer arithmetic, negative epochs, JavaScript precision, monotonic clocks, time zones, leap seconds, database storage, JSON serialization, and overflow-safe code.

A technical deep-dive into timezone engineering covering the IANA/Olson timezone database architecture (Continent/City naming, transition rules, tzdata releases), why 'timezone is not an offset' is the most critical principle, DST gap and fold semantics with concrete wall-clock examples, modern APIs (JavaScript Temporal, Python zoneinfo, Go time.Location), common production bugs (storing local times, using abbreviations, assuming integer offsets), and the political nature of timezone changes.
