For a lot of time, i thought the 12 hour clock was not that bad

Until i saw people excluding the AM/PM. What does 6:30-2:30 mean? Are you working -4 hours? Are you working from 18:30 to 2:30 or from 6:30 to 14:30? Why do people choose this time format?

Even though you're right, context is also important. They're talking about working in an office, so it shouldn't be difficult to understand that they're referring to working 8 hours, from 6:30 AM to 2:30 PM

Do all Europeans choose to purposefully misinterpret information that is actually very easy to understand based on context?

I think it's worse that someone from programming.dev doesn't understand time.

I'm confused by this comment.
Do you not understand how to tell time?
