That is the problem. Even if someone gives you this code free and it works, then some years from now some country will change the date when they switch over to daylight savings or they even change a time zone offset. Who knows what could happen in the future? And now you have a job for life responding to changes.
The solution is to call functions in the OS that OTHER people maintain and then your software will work long after you are gone.
