Smoothly Handling Leap Seconds: A Company-Wide 'Time Deception'

In 2015, the author's company faced the risk of system crashes due to a leap second. To avoid a repeat of past failures, the author cleverly designed a 'time deception' system. Over 20 hours before the leap second, the system slowly adjusted the time on all company devices, making them one second behind world standard time, thus smoothly navigating the leap second. This process required precise calculation of time offsets and multiple tests, ultimately preventing system failures. This demonstrates the author's superior technical skills and creative problem-solving abilities.
